This content must be played on a yet to be developed inexpensive hardware device that has no data extraction ports that if broken into will result in said device being destroyed.
The only kind of theft will then be the classic shitty bootleg.

Let me ask you a simple question, would YOU buy such a crippled device? Because I sure as fuck wouldn't, and I would only possibly consider it if they gave it away. And even then, I can assure you it would only be a matter of time before the system got jail-broken.
Companies have already tried making crippled devices using DRM, and time and time again consumers have rejected such restrictions. Why? Because once you pay for media you expect it to be usable across the devices you own, not tied down to one device.
Google the history of DRM and the music industry to see a real-world test case of your scenario.
