The analog hole will always exist. But please understand: it's ANALOG hole.
Ten years from now (I know it will happen by then; probably sooner), if I grab my Apple smartphone and press "record video" and point it at a piece of DRM-protected content playing on my computer, it will not record. Will not record. There will just be a black spot in your recording. The recording audio will cut out as well, if an audio watermark is detected.
It's an ANALOG hole. Film cameras will always be able to record your screen. Cassette recorders will work fine. But your digital equipment? No.
