Hi Bill
Now we mixes apples and bananas again..........
I am against uncontrolled TPM chips with George Orwell 1984 scenarios.
ie "Big Brother" sees everything and also cuts all competition.
DRM and TPM are no solution for this challenge, it´s only a easy way
for
the media industry to make share holders happy instead of really change
attitude and see a new world with new business models instead of
keeping all old structures.
Why do we have Sony Sweden, Sony France, Sony Russia and so on with
local organisations in every country ?
We only need headhunters for new talented artists within every country
and catering/promotion firms which Sony World can hire instead.
One more maybe negative side for some users is that we don´t need
record shops but this is only normal progress that they must close
down.
Why keep something we don´t need ? and old fashion distribution models.
Of course we must protect digital rights and someones work, but now we
have a situation that it´s a community against a industry.
In Sweden we now have cases in court for file sharing and this is
turning everything against media companys and the community collects
money to pay someones penalty. A real "soap opera".
Nevertheless intellectual work must be protected but with other methods
ie price models so we can come further.
With working new business models and new infrastructures there is no
room for a stinking p2p cloak with malicious malware.
And a OS can be protected in other ways then with a TPM chip !
