Most, if not all multimedia file formats have space for comments. DAVE
DRM Monopolist could simply toss an encrypted digital signature in one
of those comment fields, and neglect to mention that the hardware only
plays content that has that digital signature. And have the error that
is displayed be somewhat cryptic (EG: "RLE Data error"), so that people
think that the file is corrupt, and not simply lacking the required
digital signature.
