I'd rather we'd didn't go down this road, but I think something like this will happen eventually anyway. There are too many 'big content' providers who demand protection even if it will eventually be circumvented anyway.

What happens when your phone gets sent in on warranty and you get a replacement? What if you want to resell/gift/transfer your purchase? What if you have 2 n900s?

It would be a good idea to secure the delivery method though, i.e. not delivering the file from official sources if you haven't paid.
