Please don't call it "Treacherous Computing". This label
presupposes the proposition that we are trying to test, and which
you have not substantiated yet.
There is not presupposing. It has also been substantiated by many
people before me.
Let us take these in turn. Since the ability to play CDs or DVDs or
circumvent DRM is dependent on the operating system software that
has been loaded, I believe that we can ignore these and focus on
the operating system.
It is also dependant on if the hardware allows running of a
non-authorised programs/operating system.
I am not aware of any provision in *any* variation of TC that would
preclude you from installing your own boot loader or operating
system. Can you provide a citation of such a mechanism, or can you
explain how you envision that this might be enforced by the
mechanisms that have actually been proposed?
The hardware can refuse to run anything that hasn't been authorised by
the manufcuter of treacherous computing hardware.
