I could see a certain US political party going hog wild with these technologies. Not going to go any further, just saying.

Edit: I'm also not too surprised the Big Whatever are pushing for something like this. Their business model is collapsing, and they're going to grasp at any straw- no matter how ethically unsound- to prop it up. That's the way of the big business capitalist.

That having been said, I wouldn't be surprised either if they tried making out legitimate companies' ebooks- companies like Smashwords and the like- as being the same kind of schnikey.

Edit again: Also, most of the countries pushing for similar technologies in the likes of SOPA/PIPA have a bad reputation for crimes against education.
