Better than locking you inside. The more I read about DRM, the more worried I
get. Many simple operations are going through the DRM 'pipeline' for no
apparent reason. It's almost as though someone wants to control and
supervise every action that you take.
When you open the Web browser, Google is likely to keep track of you in one
form of another (disabling Javascript won't do because DoubleClick, for
example, just delivers images). If you use IE7, Microsoft keeps track of
everywhere you visit, when, where from, etc.
Weird (or scary) times, depending how you look at it. The PCs (and WWW)
control the users.
