I think these issues are really important to all Free Software development. FreeDOS (for instance) does not really help spread multimedia and therefore is largely excluded from the DRM conversation.
Who defines this assumed trust in software? The user of the manufacturer? The way I see it the file can have a crc or md5 signed trusted info block to verify who wrote/and distributed it. and the user can have control over which is excluded. --chris http://nxdos.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
