TCPA and Palladium

[furtherfield]

BlankMore Microsoft nonsense...Corporate dominance over creative freedom.

'With existing MP3s, you may be all right for some time. Microsoft says that
Palladium won't make anything suddenly stop working. But a recent software
update for Windows Media Player has caused controversy by insisting that
users agree to future anti-piracy measures, which may include measures that
delete pirated content found on your computer. Also, some programs that give
people more control over their PCs, such as VMware and Total Recorder, are
unlikely to work under TCPA. So you may have to use a different player - and
if your player will play pirate MP3s, then it seems unlikely to be
authorised to play the new, protected, titles'.
