In an ideal world, DRM would be implemented based on public key 
encryption, so that the same content can be played anywhere as long as 
you have the private key. MS DRM appears to be another implementation 
that locks one into MS software. I wonder if there could be some 
legislation attempt to perhaps require any such standard to not force a 
lock-in? Perhaps this could stem from EU...

Maybe i'll post this thought on the list where Linus wrote, but i'm a 
little guy (with his one eye). :)
