Re: So what's the issue?

Just out of curiousity I am wondering what the implications are if Intel embeds DRM?

Product makers have every right to insert DRM into their products to restrict it's 'use' if they choose. Obviously software based is not very good as it is easily broken and "patches" are easily distributed. So what is wrong with Intel making this a hardware based solution which will be much harder to crack and certainly harder to distribute?

I guess what I am missing is how this will actually effect a normal user in a bad way.
Well then Skippy boy. Read this .

Then you will understand how this will actually effect a normal user in a bad way.
Sort of like if I surrender all my rights.How will that affect a normal citizen in a bad way.Perhaps this will be easier to understand.Ask your self. How will a trojan actually affect a normal user in a bad way.? Think man think.

 Good or bad, that was an aweful lot like reading the pre Y2k articles -Lots of "theories and opinions" as to what could happen.

Only time will tell and I am going to venture a guess that, just like the Y2k paranoia, most of this is nothing more then conspiracy theory that was written in, what 2003?
