Content protection is in your future. Get used to it. Get ready

Considering that a lot of 'personal computers' are only or mainly used
for illegal copying of so-called 'content', some doubts if 'personal
computers' that prevent this will be big sellers seem appropriate. And
there is, of course, the issue that people will find ways to turn
'protected content' into 'unprotected content' very fast, as they
always have. Presently, this is a specification with some (largely
untested) software support. It's practical consequence remain to be
determined.
