Intel has posted a draft of its LaGrande Technology Policy on Owner/User Choice and Control, and welcomes comments until the end of this year. While I like many of their policy goals, I have a problem with one. This is not particular to LaGrande (LT), but a general problem of all TC architectures. I doubt whether the mere statement that LT will be "opt-in" will lead to something which actually resembles user choice. If my remote service provider tells me that I have to turn LT on or I will not be able to use his service, I don't see where the real user choice is.

In the heart of the Silicon Valley, legal doctrine is emerging that will determine the course of civil rights and technological innovation for decades to come. The Center for Internet and Society (CIS), housed at Stanford Law School and a part of the Law, Science and Technology Program, is at the apex of this evolving area of law.
