I still don't see any increased danger. So, the BIOS is closed. Reverse-engineer the flashing software and modify it. That's what people did with DVD drive firmware. In direct opposition to MPAA schemes, I can play all of my legally purchased Region 2 DVDs on my computer now that I've flashed my DVD drive with a reverse-engineered firmware updater that stops the reader from counting down to the time when it'll be stuck at only one region.
It is exactly this kind of consumer control and fair use that will be hindered when DRM is embedded into the hardware. That's why it's a bad thing and why Stallman is right in concept (stripped of all the extremist hippie talk).
