If the US Government were to demand that Microsoft implement this to prevent terrorists from getting free 'high tech' software, then 99 percent of the people here would be against it. But since it is to prevent 'piracy' and Microsoft is the one invading your space, then a lot of folks here think it is ok.

I personally hate an unknown, potentially intrusive, babysitter program that assumes I am guilty of theft until proven innocent. I also have always wondered if this is just another step toward removing all traces of personal 'ownership' (yeah, I know, we really just lease the code for one price now) and going to a subscription/rental model and not the anti-'piracy' it is touted as?
