Submission + - Atari Founder proclaims the end of gaming piracy (gamesindustry.biz) 1

OMGZombies writes: "Speaking on a conference held yesterday in New York, the Atari founder Nolan Bushnell said that a new stealth encryption chip called TPM will "absolutely stop piracy of gameplay" The chip is apparently being embedded on most of the new computer motherboards and is said to be "uncrackable by people on the internet and by giving away passwords" though it won't stop movie or music piracy, since "if you can watch it and you can hear it, you can copy it." I don't know much about this chip but what I know is that hackers are a resourceful lot and they love a challenge."
