It seems from this article that perhaps MS already had worked out how
to do copy protection with Palladium, or at least thinks it possible
contrary to what was said at USENIX security:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26651.html

> [Palladium related job advert...] Our technology allows content
> providers, enterprises and consumers to control what others can do

"control what others can do with [...] software.  [...] develop DRM
[...] and Software Licensing products".

Also again shows that Palladium is quite centrally a DRM platform,
which is kind of obvious from the design, and anyway from the naming
of the associated patent "DRM-OS".
