Closing the analog loophole... I suppose they want to add digital fingerprints
to DRM'd images, and add fingerprint detection software to digital cameras,
camcorders and all the like, so that they stop recording when they see a protected
image.
And for sure, you can't use VMWare to run Longhorn or that like, because it will
want an untampered TPM, not a simulated one...
This all sounds so stupid that you can't imagine people being serious about it. But
apparently they are. And don't forget: Resistance is futile. If you are a supplyer, and
your customer demands you to accept IRM-protected documents, you can either install
Windows or lose the contract. A lot of business works because "the customer is always
right". That's a sad thing, since it applies even when the customer is obviously
wrong.
