The encryption of streaming media is annoying, but it’s not what I fear. The ability to lock the software that I run on my hardware to “approved vendors” only is what worries me, and it’s what TPM promises. A security model where the only trusted party isn’t even the person owning the hardware.

The company doesn’t care if the stock price hits $1. If the company is paying it’s bills, it just continues. It’s the people who hold shares that care. The company doesn’t hold shares in itself.
