Which would make it impossible to import even the simplest text data
file on such a machine ????

You would be asked to pick a license for file, pick artistic,
and anyone could use it, encryption would also compress file...

How exactly would you do this specifically for "downloaded" files except
by snooping into every ftp/http, much less having to decrypt the
protocols like https or scp?
Anyway, assuming you meant "downloaded file == any file", that's simple,
and already being discussed, most likely by companies like TiVo, etc.

You can set this up with both rsbac and selinux

Waoh....
If I want to install a new soft, I'm gonna have to find someone
having the .tgz file signed so that I can get it ????
Is that what U mean ?

I had an idea for DRM, what about a kernel that forces everything downloaded to have a
valid signature, and doesn't let the file/program be accessed otherwise?
We could discuss ideas now, move on to code examples next, and then draw up a whitepaper,
All those who are interested mail me.
