Felten Will Present SDMI Research At USENIX

Apparently the RIAA backed off their harrassment, which makes sense, as SDMI is almost completely dead already." And a Semi-Anonymous Coward writes: "Despite the RIAA's attempts to silence the Princeton Professor and his students, USENIX will broadcast the SDMI Crack Live via the web. The broadcast will be available for the world here along with a discussion concerning your Freedom."

    ..will they repeal DMCA in the Congress. They are all owned, lock and stock, by large IP joints. It will just never happen. Period. get over it - you have no rights and no privacy. Russia won the cold war after all - it is a perfect state socialism in this country.

    ..is "supposed". In fact State Socialism was about providing state run corporations and keeping general public in check. The fact that it is other way around - corporation run state rather than state run corporations, does not change the outcome.

    We are all under constant control (credit checks, all sort of records), we are taxed heavily (50 fucking % in my check - compare that to 12% flat in current Russia) and this money are used to feed the lumpens and sponsor goverment police acting in corporate interests.

    Of course it is an exaggeration, but only up to a point - and the moderator of my post above is an asshole.
