What I want to see: DRM for the people! Incorporate White Box Cryptography and the whole suite of tricks so that users can share certain info then unshare it. It wouldn't have to be perfect to be of tremendous benefit to many. (Girlfriend revenge sites won't be thrilled.)
Can you describe how you envision this working? Why would you choose to use a client that correctly implemented the drm features? How could a free/open source client even accomplish the drm?
I'd only implement this for completely closed platforms. All bets are off for hacked and jailbroken devices. The point isn't to provide absolute security. It's to provide an audit trail and some measure of security -- enough to foil an average consumer, but not enough to stand up to concerted attack.
Why would you choose to use a client that correctly implemented the drm features?
To avoid prosecution under the DMCA. To avoid having to jailbreak your device. Because the effort of hacking isn't worth it. Current streaming DRM technologies have a good-enough track record, in part because what they protect isn't that valuable.
Big companies don't have access to perfect DRM, but it does useful things for them. Why shouldn't individuals have access to the same tools to protect their own data against such companies? In particular, big corporations are just as vulnerable to legal remedies as individuals.
