Indeed, the gloves have been off for a while now and the "IP owners" have demonstrated that they're willing to turn our entire lives into digital prisons in the name of stopping "piracy." They've done an incredible job at radicalizing me against IP protections by making clear that there is no acceptable middle ground to them. I don't believe there is any sating them unless/until (and maybe not even then) it's illegal (and a heavy prison sentence) to have a "non-attested" device in your posession. I wish the big tech cos would push back, but unfortunately for us this sort of lock down fully aligns with their own goals for platform control, so it's not going to happen.
