Well that's not very nice considering that the vast number of copies of these Rights management tools are going to be installed by people without realising it all eating up a "small amount" of processing power. I wander what the total power consumtion of the these combined would be over say a 5 year time span, somebody would likley be to use a PC for.
It would be intresting to see a projection of the cost of the electricity they use up.

Sounds like another case of stealing £1 from many people, rather many £s from one person.

They don't pay for this use of power which ultimatly adds up to an increase in climate change. We don't need it so lets not accept it.

Could this be another approch to the attack on anti piracy activity not being in the interests of humanity?

Okay I'm wandering off on one but it does make me wander where this will all endup.
