The only REAL uses...
...will be to eliminate fair use rights.

And maybe to keep "unsigned/untrusted" hardware or software off of our machines. And of course the problem is WHO will decide what/whose Digital Rights will be Managed.

Like a previous poster pointed out, the real crooks probably won't be affected too much, only the average joe who then won't be able to transfer CD's and such to portable players or to a computer, unless of course they pay a "tax" per copy.

I wonder if a "fritz chip" will be required for longhorn.

This sucks!
