As much as people freaked out over Microsoft requiring a once a day "check in," I can't imagine what they are going to say about this. All 4K content will be watermarked with your identity AND the device has to check in every time something is played on the device?
If the company has its way, all 4K players will need to authenticate themselves online before each and every playback. This will enable content providers to identify both unauthorized content and hacked players. However, if you are a legitimate customer with no Internet connection permanently or temporarily content will not play on your 4K device.
