So it looks like Intel is saying they support copy protection in everything but
the Pentium D? <g>

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=23708

Many Intel products today support several existing copy protection or content
protection technologies. These include support today for things like
Macrovision and DTCP-IP, and in the second half of 2005, Intel will deliver an
updated graphics driver that will also support additional content protection
technologies including COPP, HDCP, CGMS-A, and others. DTCP-IP technology,
which is publicly offered by a number of companies in the industry, enables
protected transport of compressed content within a home network. While Intel
continues to work with the industry to support other content protection
technologies, we have not added any unannounced DRM technologies in either the
Pentium D processor or the Intel 945 Express Chipset family.
