Just like DVD (Jon Loch).... Linux will have no issues.
Another lost battle for DRM and CSS. Mr. Gates, on behalf of the Bush

| Gates' lobby for mandatory MS-DRM in Russia

| Well well, the exponent of Capitalism just paid a little visit to the

| "A source that deals with the company said unofficially that Gates
| proposed Microsoft's Digital Rights Management technology as a national
| standard to fight piracy at the governmental level."
|
| Yeah, in their dreams ...
|
| "That system allows for complete control over the use of the digital
| content of Microsoft products."
|
| Now you guess who has this "complete control" ...
|
| "If the state makes Microsoft's DRM mandatory, life will be much harder
| for users and sellers of illegal software."
|
| ... and if this means that Linux users lose access all sorts of internet
| media it's just an "unfortunate side effect"? Or should Linux perhaps be
| outlawed altogether, as it can't legally support MS-DRM?
|
| Ah well, we all know it: listening to Microsoft amounts to digging your
| own grave.
