One of the dangers of making it easier for DRM to exist is that whatever "good intent", you were planning for, people will abuse their usage in any possible way. > Forget extra cupholders or power windows: the new Renault Zoe comes with a "feature" that absolutely nobody wants. Instead of selling consumers a complete car that they can use, repair, and upgrade as they see fit, Renault has opted to lock purchasers into a rental contract with a battery manufacturer and enforce that contract with digital rights management (DRM) restrictions that can remotely prevent the battery from charging at all. — https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/11/drm-cars-will-drive-consumers-crazy DRM technologies stack is pervasive and toxic for the public good. They protect the interests of businesses only. -- Karl Dubost http://www.la-grange.net/karl/
