DRM Helmet
prostoalex writes "In his weblog on O'Reilly Network Gordon Mohr suggests the ultimate solution for the music and movie industry to plug that analog hole. The solution, of course, is a helmet with built-in Digital Rights Management system that would automatically "fog up" any time you lay your eyes on something that you haven't bought license for."
An artist's rendition of what the new helmet looks like.

christ, there are two of you? i really am surrounded by mongoloids.
WOW! It sure is a good thing you posted this thought on Slashdot, because NOBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT OF THIS BUT YOU! Yes, that is right! Only you have seen this one possible peril that the DRM helmet may have if it was ever in existence! Something bad happening while DRIVING? All of the other posts with the EXACT SAME TOPIC were just copies of yours! Yep!
Just be glad you are a very original person!
Oh, oh, and you have to read this...
*This isn't the post you are looking for.*

I AM SO FUNNY!
Excuse me moderators, but why the fuck is this rated at "2, funny"?
It isn't funny OR original, as there are a number of posts EXACTLY like it.
This should be "-1, stupid, repetitive, unfunny and will give you impotency"
Why the fuck would I want my reality mediated by some xxAA hacks?
I'd just take off the fuckin' helmet and go into the world humming my own music and seeing what I want to see.
This attempt to control everything didn't work for the Caesars, Vercingetorix, Bodecia, the Louis, the Plantagenets, Napoleon, Metternicks, Hitler, Stalin [name your tyrant here] and their vision was less metastacized than that of the xxAAs.
I've already unplugged and I ain't dead or anything and I ain't paying the xxAAs a fuckin' cent. And I'm neither blind or deaf.
