MS Palladium Patent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the click-here-to-upgrade dept.

Concerned Citizen writes "cryptome has Microsoft's patent for Palladium. Including such gems as: 2. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein protecting the rights-managed data comprises: refusing to load the untrusted program into memory. 14. The computerized method of claim 1, further comprising: restricting a user to a subset of available functions for manipulating the rights-managed data. And I'm sure we'll all be coerced to agree to Palliadium during a future security patch agreement."

    Why?

    It's their site. They can post what they want. They're not here to keep your sheletered little MS-good, choice-bad worldview intact.

    Or maybe for every 3 news stories saying that Al-Queda are up to no good, the news channels should cover the positive work for farmland renewal that Al-Queda are doing?

    Oh, they're not? - See how absurd you are being?
