Great aid for terrorists. All they have to do is send around protected content enough times and have it destroy every ones' equipment. Run Forrest, Run!

Unfortunetly, if things keep going the way they are going, people will eventually start to fight back, and something equiviant to a revolution may happen! XD =P More like War against civilians…

Phil Zimmerman's PGP extension to shtoom. Which brings us back to something very similar to DMCA and audio/video DRM. To have a hope of enforcing it, you have to try and lock down the analogue hole and make the whole audio and video channel inaccessible right through to the speakers and screen. Which like I say, is another nail in the coffin of general purpose computing. I don't want to sit here crying wolf thinking up the most absurd scenarios involving something that hasn't happened yet. But the lunacy of these laws and proposed laws just keeps encouraging me. Indeed. Eg. Phil Zimmerman’s PGP extension to shtoom.
