They have figured it out... it's called Digital Rights Management.
obviously someone at some point in time will hack the encryption but that's with all technology it's an arms race.
Not only are they doing it with thought, but they are also trying to make sure that the government is involved too.
DRM is a big deal. Here's some items about broadcast flag DRM from the FCC.
All the encoding chipsets will fall under this umbrella. According to current FCC encoding rules, these 'expiration flags' would be illegal to apply to first-generation copies of anything except PPV and VOD. Second-generation copies of anything other than OTA broadcasts could be marked with an 'expiration flag' ... but NOT first generation copies.
FCC encoding rules can be found here:
