Submission + - SingularDTV: using Ethereum for DRM on a sci-fi TV show about the Singularity (rocknerd.co.uk)
David Gerard writes: SingularDTV is an exciting new blockchain-based entertainment industry startup.

I'm sure that if you read the fine print on the agreements for most (if not all) set top box services like TiVo, Hulu, Netflix, your cable agreements, you'll find that they grant permission to collect viewing data and resell it. It's pure gold to ratings organizations or anyone else wanting to prove how many people are watching one thing or another.

Yes, in theory you could look for the magic A record returned, but to do so is something of an operational nightmare, and impossible to do with most current MTAs.
Or you can use an MTA that rejects any mail from a sender that cannot be mailed to.
We really get to worry when Verisign does the same thing to MX records and issues 250s for everything.

Dynamically binding, you realize the magic. Statically binding, you see only the hierarchy.
