just means the TPM wrapper recognizes a hash-signature on the content). OTOH, this is probably a lot more work for Dave than producing a generic wrapper, so maybe it's enough of a deterrant.

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.
