[Tyneras]

If you want justification for draconian DRM and nanofac control, have a "bad example" where there wasn't and everything that could go wrong went wrong.

Society broke down to the smallest unit able to sustain a nanofac (family/clan?), violently competing with each other for materials to feed their machines. It's a toxic hell that was once a green, verdant world. Small, inbred communities surviving in sealed bunkers on a lifeless world, its surface corrosive, toxic and radioactive with a detritus of thousands of tiny wars without restraint.

Any time anyone brings up the idea of open source, the authorities need only point to that world(s) to have the general public cheering them on as they take the insane deviant away in chains.
