Frankly, I view the DRM issue as somewhat of a red herring in this discussion. I can't see any reasonable way to set up a TPM-based DRM scheme for general-purpose computers: where does the trust come from? If nothing else, there must be thousands of common computer models/configurations; if a client connects to a music shop for the first time, how can the music shop tell the difference between an unmodified computer and a computer modified to record the music files? A company's IT department can install the computer from scratch by a trusted employee, "measure" the system, record the results, and use that as a baseline for the future use of the TPM within for attestation that company. A maker of an entertainment console can do something similar before it ships the device to customers. But for a general-purpose computer designed by a third party, I really can't see the trust mechanism.
