More worrysome: The whole direction of 'trusted computing' that things are headed to can have major impacts for you and me -- if things go the way the big companies want them to (and they probably will -- after all, they have enough backing from Big Business), everything will need to be 'trusted' at some point. Nice for Microsoft, but the final nail in the coffin of small, casual developers who don't have money to go through the process of having their (free!) programs certified just so windows will trust them and allow them to run.
Bang on. Thats my main concern with DRM and TCP- Want indie? Better go underground....
For games- I tend to buy them, crack them and not even use the purchased cd! why? I dont want the crap on my system spying on me.
