It's important to note that TPM does not force the thing you abhor. It
enables it along with a bunch of other useful stuff. Technlogy has enabled
other bad things, like the various failed copy protection schemes and the
DVD CSS contraption. The 'Net considers stuff like that "damage" and routes
around it. (Who said that? Spaf?)
