Should I (or do I?) own the firmware, OS, applications, etc? Maybe, maybe not. Certainly if I own a device, I should have the capability to use the device to its fullest with my own owned software (i.e. no gimping of hardware/firmware allowed depending on what is booting) i.e. I do not really own my iPhone. The DRM/trusted computing ecosystem might then be (realistically) opt-out via taking an alternative fork (running alternative software) of the web/tree/chain of trust. There need not be only one DRM/trusted computing fork, all-or-nothing choice, though. |
