So, maybe Indiana Jones was just fighting against arcane DRMs?

  > So, maybe Indiana Jones was just fighting against arcane DRMs? Weren't the Grail trials in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade a kind of DRM to prevent people people who no license from accessing the Grail? And isn't the scene where the grail temple callapsed when Elsa tried to steal the Grail just a second layer of the Grail's physical DRM system?

    The lost ark had much more brutal DRM as far as I remember... rather than just scramble the picture they melt your eyes off.

      I'm pretty sure companies would be happy to brick your computer for trying to access unlicensed copy of "their" data, if it wasn't for legal consequences that would follow.

FTDI actually attempted to brick counterfeit chips via their Windows driver: See for example > http://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/ftdi-driver-kills-fake-ftdi-ft232/msg536298/#msg536298 http://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/ftdi-driver-kills-fake-...

    Grail trials were the Church's security questions. They should have used 2FA. :)
