SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony'
The Importance of writes "A couple of weeks ago BMG released an audio CD with a new type of DRM. Earlier this week, a computer science graduate student at Princeton wrote a report showing the DRM was ineffective - it could easily be defeated by use of the 'shift' key. The stock of the DRM company (SunnComm) has since fallen by 20%. Now, SunnComm plans to sue the student under the DMCA and claim that SunnComm's reputation has been falsely damaged. According to SunnComm's CEO, 'No matter what their credentials or rationale, it is wrong to use one's knowledge and the cover of academia to facilitate piracy and theft of digital property.'"
You don't go up to a sliding door at a supermarket and say open to tell it that you absolutely want it to open.
your logic and example go hand in hand.
when i walk up to a sliding glass door, of course i want it to open. i would not have walked up otherwise.
how often do you *not* want the sliding glass door to open? pretty much never.
how often do you *not* want windows autuplaying a CD? at least 50 percent of the time.
If you worked at Dell or Gateway for tech support...
ahh, so that's your problem! sorry dude. i hear that taco bell is hiring friendly people. (i'm guessing that because you're apparently dense, you might be friendly).
Besides, being a moron...
personal experience?
So from that logic...
please, don't say the word logic. i don't think that word means what you think it means.
