Copy-Protected Digital VHS
DragonMagic writes: "BBC carries this story regarding the comeback, certain studios hope, of the video tape against the dominating sales of the DVD. Fox, Universal, Dreamworks SKG and Artisan Entertainment are releasing a series of blockbuster movies onto the format D-VHS, developed by JVC. DVHS offers High Definition TV technology and the possibility of copy prevention, and is able to play old VHS tapes as well."
Simple, they are evil sinful things that exploit women!
har.
the same way that burlesque ain't considered "legitimate theater".
I am a big, fluffy, cute, cuddly bunny. fear me.
I believe that all material, regardless what it is, should be considered valuable intellectual property and should be copy protected such that it is impossible to access it by any means. This is what I suggest: International laws will be passed making it necessary to publish your work through a licensed publishing company. Regardless of whether you're a single person writing a short story or an entire studio making an epic motion picture, your publisher will take your completed original, along with any and all copies, notes, materials, whatever, and publish them by throwing them into a blazing furnace. This innovative technology will prevent 100% of copyright violations and intellectual property thefts by making it physically impossible to make illegal copies of the valuable work.
No.
