<p>
For Dan Halbert, the road to Tycho began in college—when Lissa
Lenz asked to borrow his computer. Hers had broken down, and unless
she could borrow another, she would fail her midterm project. There
was no one she dared ask, except Dan.</p>
<p>
This put Dan in a dilemma. He had to help her—but if he lent
her his computer, she might read his books. Aside from the fact that
you could go to prison for many years for letting someone else read
your books, the very idea shocked him at first. Like everyone, he had
been taught since elementary school that sharing books was nasty and
wrong—something that only pirates would do.</p>
<p>
And there wasn't much chance that the SPA—the Software
Protection Authority—would fail to catch him. In his software
class, Dan had learned that each book had a copyright monitor that
reported when and where it was read, and by whom, to Central
Licensing. (They used this information to catch reading pirates, but
also to sell personal interest profiles to retailers.) The next time
his computer was networked, Central Licensing would find out. He, as
computer owner, would receive the harshest punishment—for not
taking pains to prevent the crime.</p>
<p>
Of course, Lissa did not necessarily intend to read his books. She
might want the computer only to write her midterm. But Dan knew she
came from a middle-class family and could hardly afford the tuition,
let alone her reading fees. Reading his books might be the only way
she could graduate. He understood this situation; he himself had had
to borrow to pay for all the research papers he read. (Ten percent of those
fees went to the researchers who wrote the papers; since Dan aimed for
an academic career, he could hope that his own research papers, if
frequently referenced, would bring in enough to repay this loan.)</p>
(追記) </div>
<div class="column-limit"></div>
<div class="columns"> (追記ここまで)
<p>
Later on, Dan would learn there was a time when anyone could go to the
library and read journal articles, and even books, without having to
pay. There were independent scholars who read thousands of pages
without government library grants. But in the 1990s, both commercial
and nonprofit journal publishers had begun charging fees for access.
By 2047, libraries offering free public access to scholarly literature
were a dim memory.</p>
<p>
There were ways, of course, to get around the SPA and Central
Licensing. They were themselves illegal. Dan had had a classmate in
software, Frank Martucci, who had obtained an illicit debugging tool,
and used it to skip over the copyright monitor code when reading
books. But he had told too many friends about it, and one of them
turned him in to the SPA for a reward (students deep in debt were
easily tempted into betrayal). In 2047, Frank was in prison, not for
pirate reading, but for possessing a debugger.</p>
<p>
Dan would later learn that there was a time when anyone could have
debugging tools. There were even free debugging tools available on CD
or downloadable over the net. But ordinary users started using them
to bypass copyright monitors, and eventually a judge ruled that this
had become their principal use in actual practice. This meant they
were illegal; the debuggers' developers were sent to prison.</p>
<p>
Programmers still needed debugging tools, of course, but debugger
vendors in 2047 distributed numbered copies only, and only to
officially licensed and bonded programmers. The debugger Dan used in
software class was kept behind a special firewall so that it could be
used only for class exercises.</p>
<p>
It was also possible to bypass the copyright monitors by installing a
modified system kernel. Dan would eventually find out about the free
kernels, even entire free operating systems, that had existed around
the turn of the century. But not only were they illegal, like
debuggers—you could not install one if you had one, without
knowing your computer's root password. And neither
the (削除) <abbr title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">FBI</abbr> (削除ここまで) (追記) FBI (追記ここまで) nor
Microsoft Support would tell you that.</p>
(追記) </div>
<div class="column-limit"></div>
<div class="columns"> (追記ここまで)
<p>
Dan concluded that he couldn't simply lend Lissa his computer. But he
couldn't refuse to help her, because he loved her. Every chance to
speak with her filled him with delight. And that she chose him to ask
for help, that could mean she loved him too.</p>
<p>
Dan resolved the dilemma by doing something even more
unthinkable—he lent her the computer, and told her his password.
This way, if Lissa read his books, Central Licensing would think he
was reading them. It was still a crime, but the SPA would not
automatically find out about it. They would only find out if Lissa
reported him.</p>
<p>
Of course, if the school ever found out that he had given Lissa his
own password, it would be curtains for both of them as students,
regardless of what she had used it for. School policy was that any
interference with their means of monitoring students' computer use was
grounds for disciplinary action. It didn't matter whether you did
anything harmful—the offense was making it hard for the
administrators to check on you. They assumed this meant you were
doing something else forbidden, and they did not need to know what it
was.</p>
<p>
Students were not usually expelled for this—not directly.
Instead they were banned from the school computer systems, and would
inevitably fail all their classes.</p>
<p>
Later, Dan would learn that this kind of university policy started
only in the 1980s, when university students in large numbers began
using computers. Previously, universities maintained a different
approach to student discipline; they punished activities that were
harmful, not those that merely raised suspicion.</p>
(追記) </div>
<div class="column-limit"></div>
<div class="columns"> (追記ここまで)
<p>
Lissa did not report Dan to the SPA. His decision to help her led to
their marriage, and also led them to question what they had been
taught about piracy as children. The couple began reading about the
history of copyright, about the Soviet Union and its restrictions on
copying, and even the original United States Constitution. They moved
to Luna, where they found others who had likewise gravitated away from
the long arm of the SPA. When the Tycho Uprising began in 2062, the
universal right to read soon became one of its central aims.</p>

<p>This story is supposedly a historical article that will be written in
the future by someone else, describing Dan Halbert's youth under a
repressive society shaped by the unjust forces that use “pirate” as
propaganda. So it uses the terminology of that society.
I have tried to project it forwards into something more visibly
oppressive. See <a

<p>Computer-enforced restrictions on lending or reading books (and other
kinds of published works) are known as DRM, short for
“Digital Restrictions Management.” To
eliminate DRM, the Free Software Foundation has
established the <a href="https://www.defectivebydesign.org/">Defective by
Design</a> campaign. We ask for your support.</p>
<p>The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a separate organization not

DRM.</p>

<div class="columns"> (追記ここまで)
<p>
The (追記) battle for the (追記ここまで) right to read is (削除) a battle (削除ここまで) (追記) already (追記ここまで) being (削除) fought today. (削除ここまで) (追記) fought. (追記ここまで) Although it
may take 50 years for our (削除) present way of life (削除ここまで) (追記) past freedoms (追記ここまで) to fade into obscurity, most
of the specific (追記) repressive (追記ここまで) laws and practices described above have
already been proposed; (削除) many (削除ここまで) (追記) some (追記ここまで) have been enacted into law in the US and
elsewhere. In the US, the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA) (削除) established the legal
basis (削除ここまで) (追記) gave explicit government backing (追記ここまで) to (削除) restrict (削除ここまで) the (削除) reading and lending of computerized books (and
other works (削除ここまで)
(追記) computer-enforced restrictions known (追記ここまで) as (削除) well). (削除ここまで) (追記) DRM, by making the
distribution of programs that can break DRM a crime. (追記ここまで) The European
Union imposed similar restrictions in a 2001 copyright (削除) directive. In France, under the DADVSI law
adopted (削除ここまで) (追記) directive, (追記ここまで) in (削除) 2006, mere possession of a copy of DeCSS, the free program
to decrypt video on a DVD, is a crime.</p>
<p>
In 2001, Disney-funded Senator Hollings proposed a bill called the
SSSCA that would require every new computer to have mandatory
copy-restriction facilities that the user cannot bypass. Following
the Clipper chip and similar US government key-escrow proposals, this
shows (削除ここまで) a (削除) long-term trend: computer systems are increasingly set up to
give absentees with clout control over the people actually using the
computer system. The SSSCA was later renamed to the unpronounceable
CBDTPA, which was glossed (削除ここまで)
(追記) form not quite (追記ここまで) as (削除) the “Consume But Don't Try
Programming Act”.
</p> (削除ここまで) (追記) strong.</p> (追記ここまで)
<p>
The (削除) Republicans took control of the (削除ここまで) US (削除) senate shortly thereafter.
They are less tied to Hollywood than the Democrats, so they did not
press these proposals. Now that the Democrats are back in control,
the danger is once again higher.</p>
<p>
In 2001 the US began attempting to use the proposed Free Trade Area of
the Americas (FTAA) treaty (削除ここまで) (追記) campaigns (追記ここまで) to impose (削除) the same (削除ここまで) (追記) such (追記ここまで) rules on (削除) all (削除ここまで) the (削除) countries in
the Western Hemisphere. The FTAA is one (削除ここまで) (追記) rest (追記ここまで) of the (追記) world through (追記ここまで)
so-called (削除) free
trade treaties, which (削除ここまで) (追記) “free trade” treaties.
<a href="https://stallman.org/business-supremacy-treaties.html">
Business-supremacy treaties</a> is a more fitting term for them, since
they (追記ここまで) are (削除) actually (削除ここまで) designed to give business
(削除) increased power (削除ここまで) (追記) dominion (追記ここまで) over (追記) nominally (追記ここまで) democratic (削除) governments; imposing laws like the
DMCA (削除ここまで)
(追記) states. The DMCA's policy of criminalizing programs that
break DRM (追記ここまで) is (削除) typical (削除ここまで) (追記) one (追記ここまで) of (削除) this spirit. The FTAA was effectively killed by
Lula, President (削除ここまで) (追記) many unjust policies that these treaties impose
across a wide range (追記ここまで) of (削除) Brazil, who rejected the DMCA requirement and
others.</p> (削除ここまで) (追記) fields.</p> (追記ここまで)
<p>
(削除) Since then, the (削除ここまで)
(追記) The (追記ここまで) US has imposed (削除) similar (削除ここまで) (追記) DMCA (追記ここまで) requirements on (削除) countries such
as Australia (削除ここまで) (追記) Australia, Panama, Colombia (追記ここまで)
and (削除) Mexico (削除ここまで) (追記) South Korea (追記ここまで) through bilateral (削除) “free trade” (削除ここまで) agreements, and on countries such as
Costa Rica through another treaty, CAFTA. (削除) Ecuador's President Correa refused to sign a
“free trade” agreement (削除ここまで) (追記) Obama has escalated the
campaign (追記ここまで) with (追記) two new proposed treaties, (追記ここまで) the (削除) US, but I've heard Ecuador
had adopted something like (削除ここまで) (追記) TPP and (追記ここまで) the (削除) DMCA (削除ここまで) (追記) TTIP. The
TPP would impose the DMCA, along with many other wrongs, on 12
countries on the Pacific Ocean. The TTIP would impose similar
strictures on Europe. All these treaties must be defeated, or
abolished.</p>
<p>
Even the World Wide Web Consortium has fallen under the shadow of the
copyright industry; it is on the verge of approving a DRM system as an
official part of the web specifications.</p>

One of the ideas in the story was not proposed in reality until 2002.
This is the idea that the (削除) <abbr>FBI</abbr> (削除ここまで) (追記) FBI (追記ここまで) and Microsoft will keep the
root passwords for your personal computers, and not let you have
them.</p>
<p>
The proponents of this scheme (削除) have given it (削除ここまで) (追記) gave early versions (追記ここまで) names such as
“trusted computing” and (削除) “Palladium”. We call
it <a href="/philosophy/can-you-trust.html">“treacherous
computing”</a> because the effect is to make your computer obey
companies even to the extent of disobeying and defying you. This was
implemented in 2007 (削除ここまで) (追記) “Palladium,” but (追記ここまで) as (削除) part of <a href="http://badvista.org/">Windows
Vista</a>; we expect Apple to do something similar. In this scheme, (削除ここまで)
(追記) ultimately put into use, (追記ここまで) it is (削除) the manufacturer that keeps the secret code, but
the <abbr>FBI</abbr> would have little trouble getting it.</p> (削除ここまで) (追記) called “secure boot.”</p> (追記ここまで)
<p>
What Microsoft keeps is not exactly a password in the traditional
sense; no person ever types it on a terminal. Rather, it is a
signature and encryption key that corresponds to a second key stored
in your computer. This enables Microsoft, and potentially any web
sites that cooperate with Microsoft, the ultimate control over what
the user can do on (削除) his (削除ここまで) (追記) per (追記ここまで) own (削除) computer.</p>
<p>
Vista also gives Microsoft additional powers; for instance, (削除ここまで) (追記) computer. (追記ここまで) Microsoft
(削除) can forcibly install upgrades, and it can order all machines running
Vista to refuse to run a certain device driver. The main purpose of
Vista's many restrictions (削除ここまで) is (追記) likely (追記ここまで) to (削除) impose DRM (Digital Restrictions
Management) (削除ここまで) (追記) use (追記ここまで) that (削除) users can't overcome. The threat (削除ここまで)
(追記) control on behalf (追記ここまで) of (削除) DRM is why we
have established (削除ここまで) the (追記) FBI when asked: it
already (追記ここまで) <a (削除) href="http://DefectiveByDesign.org">

<p>
(削除) When (削除ここまで)
(追記) Secure boot can be implemented in a way that permits the user to
specify the signature key and decide what software to sign. In
practice, PCs designed for Windows 10 carry only Microsoft's key, and
whether the machine's owner can install any other system (such as
GNU/Linux) is under Microsoft's control. We call this <em>restricted
boot</em>.</p>

In 1997, when (追記ここまで) this story was first (削除) written, (削除ここまで) (追記) published, (追記ここまで) the SPA was
threatening small Internet service providers, demanding they permit
the SPA to monitor all users. Most ISPs surrendered when
threatened, because they (削除) cannot (削除ここまで) (追記) could not (追記ここまで) afford to fight back in court. One
ISP, Community ConneXion in Oakland, California, refused the demand
and was actually sued. The SPA later dropped the suit,
but (削除) obtained (削除ここまで) the (削除) DMCA, which (削除ここまで) (追記) DMCA (追記ここまで) gave (削除) them (削除ここまで) (追記) it (追記ここまで) the power (削除) they (削除ここまで) (追記) it (追記ここまで) sought.</p>
<p>
The SPA, which actually stands for Software Publishers
Association, has been replaced in its police-like role by the Business
Software Alliance. The BSA is not, today, an official
police force; unofficially, it acts like one. Using methods
reminiscent of the erstwhile Soviet Union, it invites people to inform
on their coworkers and friends. A BSA terror campaign in
Argentina in 2001 made slightly veiled threats that people sharing
software would be (削除) raped.</p> (削除ここまで) (追記) raped in prison.</p>

The university security policies described above are not imaginary.
For example, a computer at one Chicago-area university displayed this
message upon login:</p>
<blockquote><p>
This system is for the use of authorized users only. Individuals using
this computer system without authority or in the excess of their authority
are subject to having all their activities on this system monitored and
recorded by system personnel. In the course of monitoring individuals
improperly using this system or in the course of system maintenance, the
activities of authorized user may also be monitored. Anyone using this
system expressly consents to such monitoring and is advised that if such
monitoring reveals possible evidence of illegal activity or violation of
University regulations system personnel may provide the evidence of such
monitoring to University authorities and/or law enforcement officials.

<p>
This is an interesting approach to the Fourth Amendment: pressure most
everyone to agree, in advance, to waive their rights under it.</p>
