More Info on Phantom Game Console

Posted by michael on Thursday July 10, 2003 @04:56AM from the phantasmic-force dept.

MImeKillEr writes "Newsforge is reporting that the Phantom Game Console discussed on Slashdot is really a DRM-protected PC, sans floppy or CD running Windows XP. It uses a proprietary encryption method to protect the data on its harddrive, and the only thing that differentiates this 'game console' from a standard, Windows-running PC is that it has no way to get data on or off of it except through a dedicated connection to Infinium Labs' own servers." Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.

Do we have to remind you for the 50billionth time that this level of fair use is history aka. pre-DMCA?
(that is if there is ANY DRM involved.)
And yes, there are people fighting this.
