Palladium: Copyright
overprotection and lack of consideration for users.
overprotection and lack of consideration for users.

Recently, Microsoft, Intel, Compaq / HP, AMD and IBM have joined forces in a joint project, called the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance, or simply TCPA. The goal of the TCPA Journal
is to raise the level of safety in PC we're going to use in the near future to make it easier for the end user and their use to combat software piracy.
Basically you want to check the copyright through the motherboard, with the inclusion of the Protocol DRM (Digital Rights Menagement) inside the processor, this will enable the "content owners" (ie large corporations) to avoid copies authorized by acting directly on the hardware. There
However, a large reserve on the mode of operation of this processor, justified by the need for secrecy essential to the realization of the project.
Ross Anderson of Cambridge University, said that the operation of the TCPA is based on encryption of communications between the various components (keyboard, player, monitor, ...) of the machine, which starts from a very special chip whose contents is not to say it, encrypted, and whose job is to constantly monitor the system and to monitor all transactions that are to run on the machine (play music, play games, watch a movie).
This chip, which lack content, is in fact the instigator of the codename of the project TCPA, Palladium, which does not relate to the chemical element but eponymous statue of the goddess Athena, which was built in Troy in order to protect the city.
We therefore safer with the new technology but we can only use one.
fact you can no longer run a program or run a specific component that does not comply with TCPA / Palladium, or to obtain a copy of a CD purchased or regularly use free software, all restrictions are likely to make the PC more like a washing machine to a computer and the user more plucking a chicken from the administrator of your PC.
In other words, everything that will go into our computer must be authorized and controlled by technology, some unknown, managed by multinational entertainment, production hardware and software and, by virtue of this, which will be handsomely paid by denied any possibility to use hardware and software alternatives.
