This is an issue that I have actually tracked very closely.
To my knowledge, there is no such feature in any currently proposed
or implemented TC hardware. Can you please identify a specification
that supports your assertion?
It does not have to be implemented currently to be possible. The
remote possibility of having a evil company dictate what I can or
canno listen to is bad enough.
And as someone else pointed out, some non-free gaming machines.
