> But Intel would have to convince skeptical Hollywood executives of that

Does hollywood have an leverage whatsoever on intel? If intel decided they were removing any and all DRM features hollywood would have no choice but to accept.




No, Hollywood would just not let Intel-based PCs have access to their content. This would lose them zero revenue. As I said, anyone who can afford a $450 Intel CPU can afford a $35 Chromecast.

Hollywood holds all the cards here.
