So this would be a definitve must if you're builing a server, and I'm asking now whether you would like those features on your home box as well, even if you had to give up DVD copying or get special illegal hardware for it.
Is my customized linux "illegal software" under this nonsense?
The people proposing such nonsense should get real - there are quite a ways to modify processes execution, the simplest being a debugger.
Or are they proposing outlawing debuggers?
