DRM can be implemented openly. However, to prevent "fake implementation" from impersonating the open one, the entire stack would need TPM-esque verification.

You're targetable either way, although in cases like Cuba the propagation rate via Internet vs. flash drives is probably different than the rest of the world.

Guess there is a difference between your definition of "damage" and the GP's.
In a business setting, any time, effort, or money that you spent, and would not have to spend if there were no breach is considered "damage".

From your own link: "TURKTRUST is the one and only local ECSP that its root certificates are recognized to Windows Programs by Microsoft."

Submission + - UK court rules against Motorola's "sync messages" patent (arstechnica.com)
Dupple writes: On Friday, the High Court of London issued a ruling that said that one of Motorola’s patents covering technology to synchronize messages across several devices should be invalidated. Originally, the patent covered the synching of messages across multiple pagers, but recently Motorola has used the patent in lawsuits against Apple and Microsoft for using similar message-syncing services in iCloud and on the Xbox, respectively.
The presiding Judge Richard Arnold declared Motorola's patent invalid and said it should be revoked because the patent (which has a priority date from 1995, but was issued in 2002) contained technology that “was obvious to experts. in the field at the time.”

Submission + - Coral Reefs Could Be Decimated by 2100 (sciencemag.org)
sciencehabit writes: Nearly every coral reef could be dying by 2100 if current carbon dioxide emission trends continue, according to a new review of major climate models from around the world. The only way to maintain the current chemical environment in which reefs now live, the study suggests, would be to deeply cut emissions as soon as possible. It may even become necessary to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, say with massive tree-planting efforts or machines.
