DRM for batteries

[ji at tla.org]

Inkjet cartidges and laserprinter cartridges already have this kind of 
functionality.  Rumor has had it for a long time that Dell has been 
doing this with their batteries.

In any case, the strength of the crypto is irrelevant.  What's relevant 
is the strength of the lawyers arguing that clone makers are violating 
the DMCA.
