Re: Intel quietly adds DRM to new chips -

well, as long as they don't force it by law, there will always be an alternative. Just like dvd players... most players sold here in denmark are codefree, because people, how stupid they might seem, actually have become aware of the advantages.
I think the same will happen with computers, as long as somebody are actually producing computerparts worth buying without code.
What might happen is that ie amd has two lines. one drm-line of processors and one line without drm. The drm processors might be sold til companies... who knows, ms could make a cheaper windows which requires drm or whatever, so companies actually would be interested in owning drm protected material.
so the generel point here is that I think we as private customers still will be able to choose whether we want drm or not in the future, because there will be a demand.

This calls for an extraordinary mix of psychology and extreme violence!
