Your comment makes me think of Googles new DRM protocol, and then about Ken Thompsons compiler hack, combined with most DRM get hacked eventually.

This gives me hope that even if Googles DRM becomes standard, it will be hacked and YouTube thinks it's showing ads on a unmodified signed page, but I am not seeing any ads.
