CVS Disposable Camcorder Hacked

Posted by timothy on from the intentionally-left-blank dept.

ptorrone writes "We've been watching this on MAKE closely- and the king of the one-time digital camera hacks/analysis finally got his hands on a CVS Camcorder on Friday, the 24th via someone shipping him one FedEx. Within 18 hours, he had slurped the flash memory and has the unencrypted, XVID codec, 320x240, 30fps movies stored in the camera on his computer."

    Oh Jesus Fucking Christ! Get off your moral high horse.

    If there's not a EULA then the purchaser can do whatever the fuck they want with it.

    I think I'll go buy one and toss it into the Atlantic, just because I can.

    Oh wait, then I'll be polluting, and your self-righteous punkass will probably get Greenpeace after me.

    Fuck you.

    OK, you show me in the contract form you have to sign at CVS before they hand you the camera that they are only renting it to you and that you have to return it.

    As I said, a contract does not have to be signed to be a contract. If you think it does, then show me the contract where CVS transferred the title to you.

    Oh, wait, there IS no contract and you're not renting it. Not only do you NOT get your $30.00 back, you have to pay them $20.00 MORE to get your video off the camera and onto a DVD.

    And when you return your camera, do you get that back? So according to you, you have to pay them $20 and give them a camera which you own, in order to get the DVD?
