But doesn't free drivers, and Open Hardware defeat the
purpose of why they want Trusted Computing, and DRM?
I know this is a little facetious, or do you really think
they are doing it for security reasons?
I do agree, but I think its a little funny, concering all
the DRM, and how the **AA act toward the community in
general. The more I read up on this the more I think RMS is
right. I just hope the Gnu/Linux community can withstand
this sort of thing.
