	Who Owns Your Computer?

	When technology serves its owners, it is liberating. When it is
	designed to serve others, over the owner's objection, it is
	oppressive. There's a battle raging on your computer right now --
	one that pits you against worms and viruses, Trojans, spyware,
	automatic update features and digital rights management
	technologies. It's the battle to determine who owns your computer.

	You own your computer, of course. You bought it. You paid for
	it. But how much control do you really have over what happens on
	your machine? Technically you might have bought the hardware and
	software, but you have less control over what it's doing behind
	the scenes.
