Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking
An anonymous reader writes "Next generation super MP3 files will support four-channel audio tracks and contain what's dubbed Light Weight Digital Rights Management (LWDRM) code to track it's owner via p2p programs." We've mentioned these multi-channel, DRM-ified MP3s before.
As far as I know the TCPA specs, Longhorn won't stop you from running unisgned code.
TCPA will stop you from allowing unsigned code to access trusted mode and trusted keys.
There is no way TCPA can prevent you from bruteforcing the key, or even aquirering them by using a Un-TCPAed bootfloppy (w/some possibly necassery bruteforcers as well....)
This might not be as easy as DeCSS, but saying Longhorn won't run unsigned code at all is just plain stupid.
You think Microsoft will dear to break backward compatebility that bad? Nobody will upgrade, regardless of pressure, if it means that all other software will have to go, and Microsoft knows this.
So stop misinterpeting things, and repeating stupid, groundless claims. Get a tinfoil hat, and get rid of your fullcover tinfoil body-suit.
Not Buzzword 2.0 compliant. Please speak english.
This is utter nonsense and I guess this has been repealed quite a few times, but I'll take the time to debunk this myself as well.
Future BIOSes might deny uncertified OSes to access the TCPA trusted mode, and thus disable the ability to run TCPA enabled software. It will not make the x86-platform a Windows-only platform. Claiming such sheer stupidity is, well quite frankly, stupid.
Between the facts and your ignorant claim, there are lightyears of difference. And that you actually got moded "interesting" for this... The moderators are still clueless, I guess.
Yes, TCPA is evil, but we don't have to resort to lies to defeat it, do we?
