How could this work? I would expect this method to yield a bunch of matches corresponding to every version of the file that was once saved and continues to live on the disk. Unless you happen to have a string that only existed in the last v

I would hope that rebranded versions of Firefox such as Iceweasel will strip the DRM support, so I guess it is not like it will be forced on people who don't want it. Of course, this is still bad news, because it means there is no more

Nothing prevents a machine from having multiple identities.

Yes, but with IP addresses your identity changes whenever your connection changes, which is much worse. When using fingerprints, instead, the machine identity stays the same (and conceivably you would just have to ping a decentralized repos
