Felt Tip Marker Defeats Copy-Protected CDs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the felt-tip-markers-are-now-illegal dept.

We posted this story over a week ago but the mainstream media has flooded us with stories about felt tip markers and copy protected CDs so I figured I'd post it again since I'm really sick of deleting hundreds of submissions from people who didn't read Slashdot on May 13 ;) Basically you can mark the rim of some CDs and defeat the copy protection. And we all know what the DMCA says about tools for circumventing copy protection.

    OMG. Earth to Malda: You can expect to see exponential growth in troll post story submissions from now on. You have proven that persistence pays.

    Hmmm, well.. I completed missed this the first time they posted about it. I tend to read the titles first and then the details, and thus skipped over it the first time. No harm done by posting a repeat. Especially something that is this hilarious.

    The Slashdot Cruiser. Wow, I'd forgotten about that. I remember entering that contest. Who won that damn thing? And what did they do with it? Will a search find the answer?

    Yeah, it's off-topic. If I didn't occasionally drop my karma down to 48, I wouldn't have anything to live for.

    I long for the days of trolls posting haikus about a petrified Natalie Portman slathered in hot grits ...

    Ok, just for you:

    Natalie Portman
    Nice in Star Wars black leather
    But sadly no grits
