DRM and Threat Analysis
miladus writes "A timely and concise intervention by Ed Felten
on the topic of DRM and the models used (or not used) to represent the
threats to defeat. In brief, 2 models, one based on the potential of
large scale redistribution of copyrighted files implying defeat of DRM
if one user succeeds in bringing file inquestion to P2P network; the
other, refers to the majority of users who would casually copy files.
The implications of the schematization are most interesting because
they explain some the logic behind the often confused and confusing
rhetoric of DRM advocates and the necessity for rational grounding for
technologies."

.Information doesn't want to be anything
The point of p2p networks nowadays is to copy files that some people may not want you to be copying... For the people who download movies, music, software, and pr0n.
Who gives a flying fuck?!
The America is about to start war in less than 12 hours!
Is America so arrogant that it can defy international law and demand the head of an independent state step down? And you wonder why the world hates America?
Not to mention that we are one terror alert level from martial law right now!
Code Red = Martial Law in case you didn't look it up.
