The question is how are they going to protect the data? I'm not too impressed with the AACS' performance regarding protection of keys.

However I LOVE the idea of being able to store a video on a Video Server.

I probably will not like the limitations though (I'm guessing that the movies will have to be stored internally on the player or something silly like that)

They haven't provided us anything meaningful regarding MC which is worriesome to me because I know they'll frill it up.

If it is as originally planned, it would be under a DRM. Which means locked to the target device unless migration or upgrade options are available.

Ironically, AACS would not exist in the MC data. So, AACS is regulating the ability to migrate data out of AACS.
