Public CD Copying Machine in Australia
kanad writes: "With all the news of banning cd burners, taxing blank CD-Rs, DMCA, and whatnot in the U.S., here's a breather from Australia. Some stores have installed coin-operated CD copying machines. Basically it's very simple: put the CD to be copied and a blank CD in two different slots and drop your coins and Presto! In 10 minutes you get a copy. It even bypasses some anti-copying measures. ... Obviously the burden of not violating copyright rests with the user under Australian law, which is the same as that applied to photocopiers. Today evening I saw the machine and it's really cool. Wonder what would happen to this machine in U.S. and Europe."
I wonder if this device is anything more than just a CDR connected to a 486? I'd love to know if you're able to make copies of CD-ROMs, especially copy protected ones like Playstation games and PC cds using SafeDisc.
as one AC to another, Napalming George Bush is an excellent idea. Mmmmm, I love the smell of crispy oil-baron in the morning. Amdit it, it would be FUN to watch him burn to death while trying to scrape that evil crap off! If only we could put Sharon and Saddam in the same room we could get a hat-trick of crispy assholes!
Napalm GW, you say? You're a classic college educate. What's your major, by the way?...freak.
