Microsoft, Allies Gear to Reshape Copyright Debate | |

Microsoft Corp. , Intel Corp. and nearly 200 other companies from the computer hardware, software and security industries are working on technologies designed to protect data in computers from being tampered with by intruders. Maintaining that these systems are needed to impede hackers, proponents say they could help restore law and order in a world where digital piracy is rampant. Critics counter that the technologies are part of an industry power-play that would end the freewheeling culture of information-sharing that now exists over the Internet. | ||

This is poised to become THE ultimate Bohica-Ruta for consumers.
They think the PC industry is in a slump now? Wait till they incorporate all this Draconian crap. THEN they will see what a PC slump is like. TL |

Um, yeah right. You're telling me that if there were no other PCs on the market than those that support Palladium or similar, you'd stop buying PCs? I highly doubt that. I highly doubt that the thousands of companies that use PCs would decide to not update them again. I doubt that home users would stop buying PCs. I guess I think all three of you are wrong.
Wiz, if you don't think that p2p networks affect the sales music and movies you are a fool. That isn't a personal attack, per se, it is reality. How many people, if they could print their own money and know they'd never get caught, wouldn't do it? That's probably the same as the number of people who will still buy CDs even when they can freely download all the music on those CDs. Realist, if you are planning to purchase or otherwise use the "crap" that the entertainment industry puts out, then you have nothing to fear from Palladium. Perhaps you could help me understand what your concern is? |
