Is it important to you to have your works able to be "traded in" on close 
systems where only the "blessed" can do so, or would you be OK with 
restricting it to closed systems where anyone can put on the DRM for your 
works?


Secondly, people are saying that the current anti-tpm language without PD 
allows works to be used on closed platforms if the user puts them on. (Local 
application of DRM.)

What more do you need?
