CPRM on hard drives – IBM takes a spin

31

Author: JT Smith

The Register reports: “A squadron of heavily armed IBM spin bombers left their hilltop base
at Almaden, Ca at the end of last week. Their destination – Vulture
Central. Their mission – to disarm public outrage at the proposed
inclusion of CPRM copy control mechanisms into hard disks. The
bombers were loaded with a good-natured arsenal of flattery, non
sequiters, and laser-guided hand waves.”
