Though hardly "The Answer"(R) to computer security, I thought it was a
good approach to pointing out the dangers of unquestioned assumptions.
Several commentators noted DRM and Trusted Computing seem aimed in the
same direction, I believe this man was careful to aim his comments at
the institutional setting, to inform IT workers, not the SOHO. DRM and
such is planned as universal. That's a pretty big difference.
