:  Unlike the current Flash Player, Adobe Media Player will enable content 
:  providers to monetize their media and provide new ways to distribute it. The 
:  application even offers options to protect their media through the use of 
:  "streaming encryption, content integrity protection, and identity-based 
:  protection." There will also be built-in options to provide analytics data 
:  on users so that content providers can have a better understanding of their 
:  audiences.

So AMP provides Big Brother features for content producers
and offers nothing for content consumers.  So why should I
ever use this?
