![]() 'Free' Costello CD seeds DRM, MS Media Player 9: "Hardware supporting Microsoft's Secure Audio Path DRM technology seems to have arrived, albeit somewhat bashfully, and as if that wasn't enough, today the UK Sunday Times newspaper unleashed a neat little trojan that'll upgrade you to Windows Media Player 9, complete with all those lovely facilities to protect 'your' music."

![]() An open letter on TCP/DRM support in the CPU: "Due to the recent spate of announcements from CPU manufacturers of upcoming support in their products for the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) specification, Microsoft's "Palladium" and similar Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, I have sent to both Intel and AMD the following open letter. In it I attempt to describe the issues caused by such an inclusion and argue that only an open system of this type can posibly benefit the end-user." [kuro5hin.org]
