When most non-farmers think of tractors, they think of something like a dumbed-down car with a lot of power. It's an engine that drags a tool through a field.

The idea that something like that could be locked behind components that can't be fixed or replaced cheaply is astounding to them.

I feel like it's the same as asking Henry Ford what he thinks about all the electronics in today's cars. It'd blow his mind.



Well, yeah, sure, but I guess I was assuming people who knew what DRM is, not necessarily the general public--if you didn't even know what DRM is, it's not that surprising you probably wouldn't have an idea of how it would be used.
