They argue that the security features of Palladium could be used to create P2P networks that are more resistant to attacks from content owners."

Even if media companies, those who traffic in ever more available ideas, are able to score at a rate ten thousand times that of punk kids, they're still screwed. There are a lot of punk kids. Now they're going to grow up idolizing a spoonless Ted, hating The Man, singing avril lavigne's lates singles "He Connected Thru The Exploit of My Heart" and "1 0w3d j00 (Like A Linux Box)"
