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.
