This future is already here and you sold it via the 90 year IP protection laws and defense of DRM systems. For your safety you see?

For DRM (whose complexity and invasiveness remains limited by how much it is allowed ot impact performance) this a lot more feasible than for something where the code was never available to run locally at all and you would have to essentially recreate the entire thing from scratch.
