It's official folks, GE supports spyware and rootkits as long as it's done in the name of preventing "piracy".

Note that one design purpose of Palladium is to allow rootkits to be installed that are completely undetectable. I wish someone would explain why that's a good idea.

That's because it is not. :-) I think "palladium" is a rootkit in and of itself. It certainly offers no substantial value to the owner of the computer.
