As AP (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=528&e=2&u=/ap/20040412/ap_on_hi_te/intel_secure_chips) reports,

The next generation of Intel Corp. microprocessors for cell phones and handheld computers will, for the first time, include hard-wired security features that can enforce copy protection and help prevent hackers from wreaking havoc on wireless networks [...] The same technology also can be used to ensure that content such as music or movies is used in a way dictated by the copyright holder. A purchased song, for instance, would not play unless it's sure that it's authorized and running on secure hardware.

Global Internet,
Once a spring of liberty,
Autumn chill so near.
