"Microsoft has applied to patent something they’re calling 'Device Manners Policy', or DMP. Business owners can establish these policies, emitting them to your device. Don’t want anybody taking pictures in your museum? Place a 'No Photos' RFID in the exhibit. Don’t want any bleeps and bloops going off in your movie theater? Set the 'No Noise' policy on the DMP server...
Business owners have a right to request patrons follow reasonable guidelines, but this is a giant leap outside of that realm of authority. It’d be like a business owner duct taping a patron’s mouth. First thing I’d do with a DMP enabled device is attempt to disable the receiver; if all else fails, I’d fix it with a hammer."
