I sure hope it doesn't go in that direction. What will they do when I want to play the music I recorded myself or my friends' bands? It seems like this might actually discourage verification because it can be a criminal offense to change the name of the artist or track name, so it could introduce some huge liability for misidentifying music. Any verification system is going to have a few bad results, so they might have to just avoid doing it altogether to avoid liability for it.
- norea-armozel 11y agoI don't know if it's definitely going to pan out that way, but I wouldn't put it passed any of the hardware makers to put in some form of restriction. I believe Corey Doctorow talked about this in a more general sense where computers were compromised in how they could execute code. Meaning that computers in the hypothetical setting would be self-censoring. The only element that keeps this from happening, at least in my view, is the fact that the same businesses depend on hardware and software to do their business. If applications become compromised such that performance cannot be guaranteed then they can't state any guarantee to investors. So, the whole thing hinges on greed which has a nasty way of twisting things. So, I won't bet on it either. Whatever happens is what happens.
