Adam Bresson Demonstrates Fair Use at DefCon

Posted by timothy on from the shameful-that-this-should-be-remarkable dept.

nigelc writes: "Adam Bresson showed how to make copies of copyright-protected videos in a speech at DefCon. To quote the article, 'I hope he's got a lawyer and that they talked to somebody'" From the article, it sounds like Bresson simply used a video conversion box to defeat MacroVision -- something my notorious criminal father has been doing for years.

    Have you ever noticed how the Jews are at the forefront of those trying to restrict our rights. Know your enemy. Study this list of Jews trying to destroy your freedom:
    • Rosen
    • Coble
    • Berman
    • Eisner
    • Redstone
    The Jews never create anything. They are the parasites who wedge themselves between the producer and the consumer. The Jew takes a slice of every pie that passes by. What the Jew hates is that the Internet is cutting him off from his host. The artists can now distribute directly to their fans. The Internet has made the Jew irrelevant. So the Jew tries to buy the politician to do his bidding. The Jew tries to get bought politicians to pass bogus regulations in order to maintain Jew hegemony over the consumer.

    Listen and learn about the Jew in this mp3.

      Wait a second, I'm black, and what I want to know, is what the hell is Jesse Jackson doing about this? I want my piece of this pie!

      You schmuck, Germany would have won the nuke race if they had kept their Jews, and Spain would have progressed faster for the same reason. History is replete with the damage societies do to themselves when shutting portions of their populations out.

      No shit, I am black!

    If the RIAA had owned the buggy industry in 1900, I think we'd all still be whipping our horses to get to work in the morning.

    I spank the monkey before I go to work in the morning. Does that count?
