CD Copy Stopper

CTho9305 writes "Technology Review has an article about a new CD and DVD copy protection system by Doc-Witness, where the disc itself has a smart card on it. The card checks if a request is valid, and then returns a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. It apparently works with standard drives."

    No they're not. Mexican's work. Of course if they were legal they'd pay taxes too.

    Woman is the nigger of the world
    Yes she is... think about it
    Woman is the nigger of the world
    Think about it... do something about it

    We make her paint her face and dance
    If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
    If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
    While putting her down we pretend that she's above us

    Woman is the nigger of the world.. yes she is
    If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
    Woman is the slave of the slaves
    Ah, yeh... better scream about it

    We make her bear and raise our children
    And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
    We tell her home is the only place she should be
    Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

    Woman is the nigger of the world... yes she is
    If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
    Woman is the slave to the slaves
    Yeh (think about it)

    We insult her every day on TV
    And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
    When she's young, we kill her will to be free
    While telling her not to be so smart
    We put her down for being so dumb

    Woman is the nigger of the world
    Yes she is...
    If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
    Woman is the slave to the slaves
    Yes, she is...
    If you believe me, you better scream about it

    We make her paint her face and dance

    See, that kind of crap is why companies are doing this in the first place. "I'm sure someone will figure it out, and make it work." You might have well as said, "Don't worry everybody..we'll still be able to steal shit, we'll just have to wait until someone figures out how to do it for us." I actually buy most of my CD's, but because of people like you I wind up having to go through all of it..product activation, bad CD's that damage your drives. Pretty soon I actually won't be able to back up my own stuff, just because they need to stop YOU people from stealing it. Are you honestly that cheap? And go ahead, try to pull the whole "I'd buy it if it didn't cost so much" line on me so I can kick your teeth in.

    Yeah, nothing quite like a mexican bitch to suck the sweat off my balls. They really seem to like it, too. It's truly amazing to look down into those big, beautiful, brown eyes and realize that the only thought going through that black-haired wetback head is, "Heyzeus Kristo, I yust love to suck balls."

  10. Re:50% below average... not true by IIRCAFAIKIANAL · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Let's look at a few IQ's- 90, 90, 90, 95, 100, 180.
    With these numbers, the average IQ comes out to be 107.5. This puts 83% of the population to be "Below Average".

    It can also work out the other way.
    20 (vegatable), 50 (retard), 120, 130, 125, 100, 115, 180.
    The average of these numbers comes out to be 105. So that putss 75% of the population above average.

    You fucking moron - did you pay attention to high school math? You don't do statistics with a small sample or you get skewed results.

    A large sample would result in a nice bell curve with half of the subjects on one side and half on the other.

    Yeah, I read the fucking article the first time.
    I repeat myself - what's the fucking deal?

    Scratch the film with the card ('dongle') off your disc, now your disc is just that - a plain disc with some data (encrypted or not does not matter) on it.

    If you can't scratch it - use a black magic marker and draw over the diod that signals back to the reader - and again, you have a simple cd/dvd.
