Hello,

I am not entirely clear on what non-trivial confinement means -- but
here is my (contrived) attempt:

  I live in a country with a repressive, immoral government. I belong
  to a group of like-mind individuals who are working to move the
  government towards freedom.  We have a tool that let's us
  collaborate (something like a wiki perhaps). We can not afford a
  private server and internet connection, so we must opt for a shared
  server with a web host provider.

  We would like to *know* that the government can not force the sys
  admin to spy on us -- because the government would have our heads.

Obviously this is a very real problem for some people...

I believe that is just one specialized use of DRM. I suspect this may
have been discussed already back during the DRM discussion last year?
Or maybe more recently with the discussion involving shooting horses?

j.
