Makes me ask: where are these TPM based DRM's? Never seen one but I assume they exist. Anyway cool work otherwise.

Actually, they don't, the article is just restating a common misconception that the TPM is used to enforce DRM and then saying they've found a non-evil use for it which, apparently, is using the TPM for standard key storage and measurement. Apparently this means we're also all working on non-evil uses ...

*Might* be that Palladium that was canceled from Windows Vista might be the seed of this misconception. It seems to have spread about somewhat similar discussions when it still was coming.
