it for all their subscribers if the associated security system is
compromised. See Conditional Access.

- Print on demand is seen by many to have a promising future as
traditional printing methods become unprofitable when doing small
print runs (less than a thousand or two books) -- printing books as
they are required, instead of printing and then hoping the demand is
there. Theoretically this could mean that books never go out of
print, because tools exist to simply print more in a very automated
fashion (be it one copy or one thousand). POD is supposed to make it
faster, easier and cheaper to print books than traditional methods.
