I doubt the DMCA deterrent factor will be much of a hindrance for the 
black hats, especilly if backed by some nation or well-heeled 
individual, but will be quite a drag for the good guys. The old saying, 
"outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns" comes to mind...

A closed, proprietary system or one with a restricted distribution 
scheme and not subject to peer review will be particularly vulnerable 
and, well, we all know Microsoft's track record.
