    This was on the W2k Windows Update list this morning

    Rights Management Client Update

    I am inclined not to run this update, I can't see any upside in the install, but I can imagine potential downsides as in the policing of various copyright material that I may or may not choose to have on my hard drive.

    Am I being over-paranoid, or am I missing out on the purpose of this update? Is there an upside that I am missing out on?
