There's a lot more in the full essay. It's not essential that you understand
all the technical details to get the gist of it, but I'd welcome geekier
readers coming in here with some explanatory comments for non-geeks. I
confess, I find it hard to believe it could be this bad, but Peter Gutman is
a lot smarter than I am.

I trust "The Invisible Hand";
It sorted the producers of DVD players correctly implementing the region code
scheme well and truly out for good.

The same will happen with Vista - the third fixpack or thereabouts will disable
most of the DRM to ensure that Vista supports the asian hardware that blatantly
ignores/fakes DRM - because the cusomers will yet again learn to specifically
ask for it.
