Hi Pierre
PSD = proprietary software/data
PSDV = PSD vendor
Chip = TPM chip
Owner = PC owner
Key = a cryptographic key

Chip + "non-free" OS do undermine Owner's control:
PSDV encrypts PSD with Key
PSDV communicates Key to Chip
Chip allows Key to be used by "proper"
unmodified .exe on "proper" OS only
The solution is to build a Free OS so popular
that PSDV shall be forced to support it

Pierre> blackbox algorithms don't require opaque memory
Pierre, I'm extremely interested. Could you tell more? I've assumed
RIAA needs both "non-free" OS + Chip to enforce real DRM
