Trecherous Computing lol

I'm writing a debate on Trusted Computing, and after remembering a flash that's more than likely been bumped off of 4chan's /f/, I decided to ack world4ch about it. Anyone have links to good rants or articles on TC that would provide for some solid pros and cons about the issue? You guys could also throw in what you think about TC, as I can quote discussion groups.


mewtnote (lol): I was about to write this on Jackie T. and the Violence in Video Games baloney, but some professor who's much more important than me has already done it. (Very well, I might add.)

You don't see harm because you're probably an Internet Explorer user

Let's not resort to name-calling.

it makes computers useless for the ones who create software and mess with it, and becomes a pain in the ass for a shitload of home users.
How the hell preventing people from stealing causes that?

But there isn't because it would render knives useless. It's the same with computers.
Way not to understand the argument. If there was a way to make knives useful to cut meat and useless to kill people, then such a security would be mandatory. Of course it's not technically possible, I just ask you to consider what would happen if it were possible, because computersss change the deal - they can permit legal uses and prevent illegal ones.


You are comparing large corporations to street gangs. That's not a very mature or realistic view of the world. Corporations are kept in check by the consumers and the governments.
Sure, some corporations want to prevent you from stealing music and movies. You call that greedy? If they were installing security devices in brick-and-mortar shops to prevent stealing, you definitely wouldn't call that greedy, you'd say it is the right thing to do.
