The current military rule may want to limit access to the net in this

You've been using PGP, but now you suspect the NSA may have installed a bug

Obviously, these issues have been very thoroughly discussed
by Corey Doctorow and Larry Lessig. DRM has not proved to be
effective at safeguarding intellectual property. It seems
to be most effective as a tool in maintaining limited
monopolies, since it stops other companies from investing
