Perhaps you missed the context of why I introduced the term premium 
content.  It was very relevant to the point I was making.  The previous 
post said that because of EME, there will be more proprietary software 
available for government intrusion.  Maybe I should have said:

For those systems interested in acquiring content which is protected, 
they already have proprietary software on their machine.

For those who are not interested in acquiring such content, they will 
not have EME.

So no systems are effected by the existence of EME.
