More Ross Anderson on Vile TCPA
by Decius at 3:51 pm EDT, Jun 26, 2002

"People believed that the GPL made it impossible for a company to come along and steal code that was the result of community effort. That may have been the case so long as the processor was open, and anyone could access supervisor mode. But TCPA changes that completely. Once the majority of PCs on the market are TCPA-enabled, the GPL won't work as intended any more. "

A more coherent discussion of the threat of processor certs. (I did a talk on this at SummerCon 1997.) People should simply refuse to buy computers that refuse to do what they are told. Worked with DivX... If this fails, then lets organize a collaborative cracking effort...


There is a redundant post from Reknamorken not displayed in this view.
