Non-DRM Friendly Trusted Computing? |

Seth Schoen of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (and a panelist at our upcoming conference, Revenge of the Blog) has written an interesting proposal regarding "trusted computing" platforms (Wednesday, October 16, 2002). Many trusted computing advocates claim that the systems aren't designed to help Hollywood enforce digital rights management, but rather, to prevent malicious software from running, protect privacy, increase security and etc. If this is so, Seth wonders, why not build an "owner override" into the system that would permit people with physical access to the device " to override certain policies the owner might consider disadvantageous (such as not allowing the owner to read some data which was saved using sealed storage)." Intriguing idea, I would like to learn more, and hear a response from the trusted computing folks. [via Boing Boing]

I don't think so.
According to Wired today "Peter Biddle, Microsoft's Product Manager ... insisted that the impetus behind Palladium was solely to secure digital entertainment content"
So lets not kid ourselves when we say palladium, it will be a computer-like entertainment platform. |
