Peter Gutmann - A security researcher at the University of Auckland New Zealand - has become one of the most cited experts on the evils of Vista DRM despite the fact that he never touched the Operating System at the time he wrote A cost analysis of Vista content protection (which he has since modified several times). Hes cited by a number of folks like security researcher Bruce Schneier and has appeared on Steve Gibsons podcast raising concerns about Windows Vista DRM. Theres just one little problem: Gutmanns theories are unsubstantiated and theyre all wrong.
