Clipper Chips in video descramblers

Recently someone posted reference to GI (General Instruments) getting authority to use Clipper chips in descramblers. One wonders about motivation on their part. ITAR already exempts the use of crypto in video descramblers where the crypto cannot be used for other purposes. DES is already used in descramblers such as the Video Cypher II, and can be exported under commodity jurisdiction. It is unlikely that anyone is going to spend the money to break DES keys and redistribute pirate authorization. The chances of discovery are too large. So, what is their motivation?
