What is the "TCPA" (the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance)?
Allegedly, this is a 'multi-company'
'alliance' created in an effort to
'improve computer-security', increase
'WEB commerce', and stop, 'software', and
'media', PIRACY (This 'alliance' also pays
HEAVY 'lip-service' to "consumer-choice").

However, the REALITY is that it is...
...fundamentally, a narrow-monopoly's
attempt to ELIMINATE choice, DESTROY
consumer-rights, and gain...
*ABSOLUTELY-CONTROL, OVER, the 'end-use' of
personal-computers.*

This can EASILY be seen by examining the
"requirements", implicit in the "TCPA" standard.

Think this is conspiracy theory?

I think this group goes by "TCG" now, you should take a look at how they want to run the internet, how they want to control end user access to software, how they plan to do it, and the list of companies that is on board.
