Or should he be allowed to live as an example that idiocy doesn't pay? WASHINGTON--A trio of politicians have renewed their efforts to persuade a court to uphold an anti-pornography law aimed at the Internet. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and two Republican House members on Thursday asked a federal appeals court to agree that the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) is a reasonable way to shield minors from commercial Internet smut.FROM http://news.com.com/2100-1023-948118.html?tag=fd_top Mc CATO head strikes again.That guy Bruce Taylor is definite APster pick.(my 2 mcents)

That, however, is not the purpose of TCPA/Palladium as envisaged by Microsoft. The intent is that Peter can sell Paul software or content that will only run on ONE computer for ONE time period.. When the motherboard emits blue smoke, or the time runs out, whichever happens first, Paul has to buy new software. If prices are lowered accordingly, this might be acceptable. --digsig James A.

Other uses of TCPA
by Nomen Nescio 03 Aug '02

03 Aug '02

I think that people are beginning to understand that TCPA is not a black and white issue. It is neither the overwhelming threat that some activists are describing, nor the panacea that the vendors are selling. It is a technology with strengths and weaknesses. As an exercise, try thinking of ways you could use TCPA to promote "good guy" applications. What could you do in a P2P network if you could trust that all participants were running approved software? And if you could prevent third parties, including hostile governments, from seeing the data being used by that software? You may be surprised to find that if you look at it with an open mind, TCPA could be a tremendous boon to freedom-oriented technologies. From file sharing to crypto protocols to digital cash, TCPA lets you expand the trusted computing base to the entire set of participating machines. It's really a tremendously powerful technology. The biggest problem, ironically, is that TCPA may not be secure enough. It's one thing to make video piracy difficult, it's another matter to keep the Chinese government from prying into the sealed storage. But with future generations of TCPA integrated onto CPUs with improved tamper resistance, it will be much more difficult to defeat the protections. It may turn out that TCPA can significantly facilitate cypherpunk goals.
