DRM can protect your own code as much as it can deny your rights. Repurposing many of these technologies for security, isolation, and verified freedom from malware could be the single largest step in computer security in recent history.

- throwawaymaroon 12y agoDRM doesn't protect anything: if it runs, you can debug it and see how it works. I don't know from what viewpoint you're constructing this fantasy about computer security and DRM. Open source servers won. They will continue to win. Open source software is also about as far away from DRM as it is possible to be. Are you suggesting we create closed-source operating systems and servers? That those would somehow be more secure? Besides, why would you think I want my code protected? I'm not a kindergartener that doesn't know how to share.
