Digitally enhanced brains and DRM collide
I have a similar concern related to computer diaries and legal proceedings. Currently, if you're involved in a legal issue, your diaries can be used in those proceedings. But what if my diary is in my computer, and my computer is physically attached to my brain? Can the courts "read my mind" against my will?
Jon Udell mixes Kurzweil's technological predictions and the current demands of the MPAA. If by 2020 we can port our brain to hardware (or at least augment it), it's likely the MPAA will yell and screem about eyeballs and ears providing an "analog hole" that lets anyone who "sees" a movie or "listens" to a song record the experience (and potentially share it). All jests aside, this is part of the reason I find hobbling of computers so offensive. At this point, my computer is an extension of my thinking processes (it's just poorly connected).
