  5. Don't watch the X-Men Movie if you support DeCSS! by sumana · · Score: 3 · on Getting Ready for The X-Men
    This site helps you see which movie studios are supporting the DeCSS case launched against 2600 Magazine et al.

    X-Men: 20th Century Fox, plaintiff in DeCSS lawsuit

    I wish I could see this movie, but I don't think I will, not paying money, anyway. If I do, it will be with a sad heart. It hurts to be a conscious consumer sometimes.

    Maybe I can make up for it with my DeCSS page. Or maybe not.

  6. You're forgetting... by roundclock · · Score: 2 · on Starwars Episode 1 DVD?
    When my dad found out that he couldn't tape TV shows with a DVD player, he said "Why would I want to buy that then?"

    There are many people that feel the same. Is this because this is a freedom we assume we have, or a freedom that we are losing in today's "high tech world" like many other freedoms.

    If you are going to protest something, do it for the right reasons.

    I read "Don't buy DVDs!"

    I read "Don't buy PM1 VHS!"

    Decide, then go further and block the companies that support the very thing you oppose.

    See DeCSS Movie Boycott Helper

    Question: Wasn't there a boycott of PIII's because of a Hardware ID in the chip of some sort?

    What if a company only made software that would work on an Athlon chip?

    If I were protesting Intel, I would be happy for this. Maybe the people unhappy about no PM1 DVD release are not protesting the DVD industry?

    Keystone Light! Ahhhhhhh

    cheers

  8. Movie boycott by witten · · Score: 1 · on Review: "Mission To Mars"

    You may find this site a great help in determining exactly which movies you can boycott if you're at all worried about the whole DeCSS mess. It lists the mainstream movies that are currently playing in theaters, along with their respective studio affiliations and whether they're a plaintiff in the DeCSS lawsuit.

  9. Re:Fist time for this? You surely have no life. by kuro5hin · · Score: 2 · on Gnome Development Roadmap
    Nah, there's a script to do that. I don't have a link handy. But I do have one to the highly amusing Katzdot: "News for Geeks, Fluff that Matters."

    Sample generated Katz headlines:
    "The Hidden Music Industry, Digital Democracy and Cyber-Terrorism"
    "Why Do Sexbots Feel Pain?"

    Ho, hum, here we go again. It's time to 'fess up, Rob: "JonKatz" is a bot, no? This is a story generator, not a person. It is just so obvious; no human being could be so consistently dumb.

    All very true. But Katz couldn't care less. He's here to advertise himself, that's all. Slashdot made him a bestseller, after all.
