Welcome to www.notcpa.org

 Wondering "Why am I here"? You should. You really should. 

Here's what Raife has to say:


 >>"What is the "TCPA" (the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance)?
 Allegedly, this is a 'multi-company'
 'alliance' created in an effort to
 'improve computer-security', increase
 'WEB commerce', and stop, 'software', and
 'media', PIRACY (This 'alliance' also pays
 HEAVY 'lip-service' to "consumer-choice"). 


However, the REALITY is that it is...
 ...fundamentally, a narrow-monopoly's
 attempt to ELIMINATE choice, DESTROY
 consumer-rights, and gain...
 *ABSOLUTELY-CONTROL, OVER, the 'end-use' of
 personal-computers.*

 This can EASILY be seen by examining the
 "requirements", implicit in the "TCPA" standard.<< 

You think he's a paranoid nerd? No, he's not - he's totally right, 
unfortunately. Read on.
