I saw some discussion of this a few weeks ago, based on an article
at EWeek. This link still seems to work:

Record labels and movie studios are eagerly anticipating the potential
file protection capabilities of Microsoft Corp.'s Next-Generation
Secure Computing Base technology, but new research contends the
architecture's security features may also help pirates and file
swappers protect their ill-gotten gains.
This paper was presented at a conference last week on Economics and
Information Security. http://www.cpppe.umd.edu/rhsmith3/agenda.htm
provides links to a number of other papers on related issues.
