Vista's DRM: "the longest suicide note in history"
Further to recent discussions with noteris I present A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection. This is a very long article, it's late, and I'm off to bed. I've barely scratched the surface. But so far it makes for an interesting read. Discussion is invited. I hope to read the whole thing in the next few days.

was planning to mention in it discussion of wider issues re capitalist relations of production being a fetter on the productive forces.
the effort put into preventing distribution of things already produced is rather like heavy ploughs being used because slaves would break the light ones to get a break from work.
but its even more fundamental when you realise that free copying does mean there is no way to finance the production of films etc other than some form of public funding. how to do that involves how to implement a communist mode of production...
btw the counter thread was also interesting but link to it not clickable.
