I did not say that you need DRM for privacy. I am not advocating DRM. DRM is built on a set of mechanisms. Unfortunately, it appears to me that the same mechanisms that are needed to support DRM are also needed to support privacy. At the moment, I do not know of any set of mechanisms that is sufficient to support privacy that does not *also* enable the deployment of DRM. None of this has anything to do with the legal or moral issues surrounding DRM. What we need to do is determine (a) whether my suspicion is correct, and (b) whether we can find a distinguishing characteristic between privacy and DRM that we can exploit at the technical design level. At the moment, I don't see a way, but I haven't had time to think about it yet. shap _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
