May 30, 2008 at 15:37A chip that can eradicate piracy
Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari, suggests that software piracy (and games in particular) will soon disappear as such.
This can be achieved by using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip developed by the Trusted Computing Group to protect workstations. This chip will allow you to determine the license of running programs.
At the moment, such chips are installed in some models of laptops and motherboards. According to Bushnell, in the near future the number of computers with TPM will increase significantly.
So it turns out the following: if you do not want to buy licensed software, choose the right mother.
I wonder how hard it will be to “crack” TPM? Well, just think about it, you won’t even install a pirated Windows. Give free software!
