With all due respect, I think that it is hardly deceptive marketing; no more so than a car alarm company stating that their product deters or prevents car theft, or a host of a thousand other examples.
I suppose that a customer can set up a video camera in front of a computer screen to copy a movie, but that would be a lot of work and result in degradation of quality, or a series of ?print screens? to save images, or get hardware that will allow you to save a movie to a VCR, again with loss of quality.
Creating software that attempts to circumvent MS DRM is a violation of the
DMCA ?if somebody is able to create it, they risk a large fine and prison time
As far as rippers go, again, there is the loss of quality issue. Rippers will not normally be able to capture all of the frames in a video stream
This is a system that that allows conventional protection for content versus being able to download and instantly distribute it. Think of it as a locked house with a burglar alarm on a street of houses with the front door wide open.
