Hey, read up on the problems people have been having with Norton stuff
- because of Symantec's version of TCPA.

if it means an end to Kazza and the <very many expletives deleted>
problem of spyware ****ing the life out of commercial machines it
may not be +such+ a bad thing ...;

Peraps we could then get down to business instead of play

Have you heard some of the broader implications though?

Like no non-licensed users being able to compile any programs? (All
compilers will be protected so you will need to have a registered ID in
order to use them)

And features such as the remote-disabling of programs.. well...

I agree totally. Frankly, I would like to slap the ****
out of some jerk sending poop to my machine on my
job. I really hope this ID process goes through. I
want to get these bastards in a court of law, and just
maybe down a back alley. I have no sympathy at all
with those who will not take this business seriously.
Their naive attitude has brought this on everybody.

Something needs to be done to provide a secure computing
environment that is protected against rubbishware.

In the end the market will decide, and if what is available is not
what people want, someone will make it.

The US Government does not control the world, and if they
want to give their businesses an anticompetitive burden, all
the better for the EU and China.

I have to say I am appalled! I would never have thought I'd see someone
posting *in favour* of TCPA

Against: I would not ever let it into my home PCs.
For: I think it is very much necessary in the office.
