'Unfixable' boot ROM security flaw in millions of Intel chips could spell 'utter chaos' for DRM, file encryption, etc

Or use a Celeron processor if they're vulnerable. Those things are like stones, no multitasking at all.

DRM?

So the title mentions DRM and file encryption. So what does this mean for streaming video and Blu-ray playback on a computer?

Will video streaming be blown wide open once CSME access is gained? How about the encryption between a computer and an HDMI display? Will Blu-ray playback be able to be intercepted through this? What kind of ramifications does this have on DRM in general?
