It is likely that using an "illegal" browser would be a thing? What, you use this thing called "curl"? Must be an illegal tool. I've talked a bit too much about Stallman's "The Right to Read", but this paragraph seems prescient, except that the "root password" he talks about would be some form of hardware-assisted cryptographic attestation today. > It was also possible to bypass the copyright monitors by installing a modified system kernel. Dan would eventually find out about the free kernels, even entire free operating systems, that had existed around the turn of the century. But not only were they illegal, like debuggers—you could not install one if you had one, without knowing your computer's root password. And neither the FBI nor Microsoft Support would tell you that.
