Google is pushing HDCP ( High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection ) or DRM into the Linux kernel via Intel open source graphics driver. Not accepted yet but just be a matter of time.

Didn't you know? Google IS evil. They have been evil for a long time. Read "When Google Met Wikileaks" by Julian Assange, if you like or dislike Assange, he still makes valid points. Watch this documentary on Google, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJDY935hOic
Google is an advertising company, first and foremost. Everything else is just icing and sprinkles.
Yes I know but this a push by Google and Intel to get DRM into the kernel. Most people in the FreeSoftware world use Intel for graphics this will stop it. non-free is bad enough but now DRM. By the way I like Assange.
Ahh, Intel. They still have factories on occupied Palestinian land, as mandated by U.N. Resolution 242. Hewlett Packard provides the infrastructure for Israel's ongoing subjugation of Palestinians. Apple continues to avoid paying taxes and exploit Chinese workers. No shortage of Evil Corporations out there. Not surprised that Intel is evil both in and outside. If I have a choice, I avoid Intel products.
It is very unsettling how many companies seem to be embracing this very closed philosophy towards hardware and drivers.
Are they releasing a new GPU that will only work with this new non-free driver?
