Steve, who will buy it? Do you think that the American populace will tolerate Big Brother (we still have votes, remember). What about lawsuits about the safe creation of new copyright material? (I can't save my own digital photo's? That'll go over like a lead ballon. Sue the businesses
and the government. How do
you think a jury would rule when they are told the can't keep their grandkid's picture? Remember the Ford Pinto lawsuits?)
And how will you force onto a machine that's isn't connected to the internet, ever?
I think it would be easier to take all the guns away from Americans. But, I could be wrong....
