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."

... BE VERY CAREFUL. Flash photography may be seen as an act of agression, and could even have harmful effects on the aliens. The use of a tripod might also be confused with a dangerous weapon.
1. Do not touch or attempt to touch a UFO that has landed. Passing through the Earth's atmosphere the skin of the craft will be hot. There is also a possibility of radiation. There is also a chance of steam being produced from the heated hull at the landing site.
2. Do not stand under a hovering UFO at low altitude. There is a possibility of radiation danger.
3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ALIENS if they appear, any movement on your part may constitute an act of aggression. If possible, back away VERY slowly. Make no gestures what so ever.
4. Note the shape and size of the craft, use nearby objects for a size comparison.
5. If you can take some photographs but
6. Do not touch any artifact from an alien spacecraft, the artifact may be dangerous, leave this to the authorites.
7. Do not attempt sex with the aliens. Alien fluids might have acid or other undesirables. TrollBurger #575126
8. Get away from the area QUICKLY. Inform the local authorites or the military.
9. Offer the aliens a burger. They've just been on a trip that must have taken many millions of lightyears, they're probably hungry. TrollBurger #575126
10. Don't tell the aliens about Slashdot, Jerry Springer, and America. The aliens are probably trying to find intelligent life.
11. To aid future human/alien dialog, attempt to communicate the rotation period of an electron in a hydrogen atom, using dance. This is the intergalactic Roseta Stone.
12. Attempt to sneeze on the aliens. This is just to show that "War of the Worlds" was a CROCK OF SHIT!
13. Explain to them about area 51, and how we shot down, and experimented on one of their own. THIS MIGHT BE DANGEROUS.
14. Offer to show them an anal probe (if you have one handy). (OPTIONAL)
15. If you a wound or illness, present it to the aliens in a manner that shows you are hurt. Many aliens have healing powers in their appendages. scotch #102596
16. If the alien seems upset, offer to rub its head gently. Not only will this ease a tense situation, it will bring you good luck. scotch #102596
bull fucking shit
eDrugTrader said it pretty well yesterday [slashdot.org].
My arse. This kind of thing will stop *most* people copying CD's. They don't give a fuck if geeky wankers want to try and capture the sound out of their speaker than write it back to CD - you don't have any friends to give copies to anyway.
Newsflash - People don't care about art, or music, they care about money.
And forget the "I won't be buying any of THESE CDs line" -- that only works until Toy Story 17 comes out on DVD....
ahh, i see. so you let disney raise the kids, and you're just babysitting, eh?
