Re: DRM implementors == black hats

I'm not sure what Microsoft has to do with this.

You'd hope that if Microsoft were somehow behind this, they'd use programmers who had more of a clue than those responsible for the mess that Russinovich ran into. I can't see anyone on the NT core team doing such a poor job. That "check every N seconds" nonsense smacks of someone whose expertise is in not-very-good user-mode apps.

You're right that Microsoft can of course implement irremovable DRM simply by, for example, embedding it in the kernel image. But that doesn't seem to be relevant to this case.
