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). He’s cited by a number of folks like security researcher Bruce Schneier and has appeared on Steve Gibson’s podcast raising concerns about Windows Vista DRM. There’s just one little problem: Gutmann’s theories are unsubstantiated and they’re all wrong.
