Because it sounds like you're proposing something like Google Glass. You do realize that developing hardware costs money, so who is going to pay for that? Sponsors? 
The history of DRM as implemented by the music industry already demonstrated that it's a huge risk if not outright financial suicide.
Google could develop Glass because:
1) they can afford it
2) the research and development that they did will have other applications that they'll implement and license
3) it's got applications beyond consumer entertainment
The device you're proposing is simply for watching porn, so that's another difficult point to get investors on-board.
I could go on, but I'm gonna get carpal tunnel syndrome if I do  |
Audio is a dead end in this respect. Anyone attempting DRM is wasting time as long as you can bootleg any audible sound with a digital recorder into a quality recording.
Audio/Video is not a dead end. Bootlegged video will always be inferior to the original.
As far as Porn is concerned, audio is inconsequential. You limit how the video can be viewed and you have an effective DRM strategy.
Now, you can throw as many monkeywrenches at the idea as you care to, but your only alternative is to play an endless game of Whackamole involving content that can be cloned or copied and converted back into content that can be cloned.
The best Whackamole strategy is to give the consumer no choice but to download an app that allows him to watch your videos on his device. Without the app, the video does not play. The app forces the device to enter into something akin to a DOS mode in which most other functions are disabled and the consumer can't run a video screen recorder. The ability to convert a PC into a projecter and transmit a signal to another device must be thwarted in the process.
