I think what you're saying was true in the past, but the game is
changing with modern hardware. There have been advances in CPU
features that make it possible to reduce the trust perimeter to just
the CPU and TPM. If I trust those two components, I can privately
compute on remote hardware, even if

These TPMs are being abused. You should be able to install your Linux
on your general purpose computer. Even if Windows and the OEM enable
the TPM, you should be given the ability to disable that. And that is
not the case in many OEM Windows 8 computers. I dual boot all my
computers. I have the rig

DRM technologies have a flip side as privacy-preserving technology.
It's all a matter of whose data is being protected and who owns the
hardware.
We generally think of DRM in cases where the data owner is large
company and an individual owns the hardware. In this case, DRM stops
you from copying d
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

And as we all know, DRM doesn't keep out or prevent hacking, but it
does impede the normal citizen from doing what they want to do with
what they buy.
Cory Doctorow's DRM Talk at Microsoft is still quite relevant. So much

Sure. It's also _necessarily_ an argument against free software operating
systems as well as an argument against general purpose computing.
It is both of these

Looking at the enormous list of members in the WC3 along with the

by the current WC3, I'm concerned about the lack of democratic checks on
