Dana Blankenhorn writes about the coming change in politics from a cultural schism to a technological divide. If you follow my writings and screenshots you will see that I am strongly against proprietary operating systems and media. I use Linux to watch movies. As Microsoft and Apple follow the path of “trusted computing” which serve to restrict my rights for the media and software I purchase, I will be eventually defined as an outlaw everytime I don’t watch a movie or listen to music on a “trusted” platform. Of course, the “trusted” platform has nothing to do with my trust, but with the media company’s ability to “trust” that I wil not use my media in a way they don’t condone.
