Vox article on copyright, ownership, and DRM (TPMs)

Hi friends,

Here’s another neat article from a US perspective some impacts of TPMs and fungible users rights in the age of software-driven physical consumer products. It starts a little dull, but eventually reflects on the more creative uses of digital contracts and TPMs, such as Nintendo’s Wii U eventually disabling itself unless users agreed to a new EULA, John Deere’s attempted circumvention of right-to-repair, or cars that can disable themselves after payments are missed. Worth a read!
