Broadcast Protection Discussion Group (BPDG), which operates within a larger structure called the Copy Protection Technical Working Group (CPTWG), at one point, had an email list going, and, during that time, put forth a draft for consensus, which included a footnote (#12, I believe) which explicitly exempted the studios from any of the requirements. When I raised that footnote as an issue, there was no satisfactory reply given.

The studios' intentions are, indeed, obvious, and your insight is well-documented in history. The exemption issue is huge, and I hope you continue to pursue this aspect of their ridiculous attempts to shut down the empowerment of individuals, by removing technology choices.
