Comment Why should we trust you? (Score 2, Insightful) 455
Palladium and any other DRM-enabling doodad are products that are inherently designed to enable vendors who do not trust their customers to exercise some degree of control over how those customers use the vendors' products. At the same time, those vendors expect customers to trust that the use of DRM products will not result in side effects that may be detrimental to users' freedom to use legally obtained products as they see fit provided such use is within the law.
Since AMI appears to be taking the side of those vendors who feel they cannot trust their customers, why should we as customers trust AMI to create products that do not infringe upon our rights as customers? Why should we not take our business to vendors who are willing to trust that we will not do anything illegal with their products, instead of assuming up front that all customers have some sort of illegal intent?
