DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented

Bodysurf writes "After DVD-Video's CSS encryption was broken in 1999, the music industry chose a much more secure copy-protection method for DVD-Audio called Copy Protection for PreRecorded Media (CPPM). This protection scheme has remained publicly uncracked, but it was circumvented recently, providing the ability to save the unencrypted digital audio data. CDFreaks has the details."

    Kathleen Fent, that is, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda's wife, is most definitely not human - she is a cow. If you would like evidence of this fact, look no further than Taco's Own Webpage. Check out the Photos section and have a peek at his wedding pictures. I don't think it takes a genius to deduce from this picture and this picture that Kathleen was most definitely wearing a plus size wedding gown. Look at all the chins! More than likely this is the reason she is not wearing a wedding veil during the ceremony; it would be difficult to pack the hundreds of chins underneath a layer of material that thin and make them look right. This is the same principal used in determining that Kathleen would most likely look revolting in a swimsuit; tiny bits of clothing look just stupid next to massive amounts of flesh. This is the reason why her wedding dress covers the vast majority of her body. Actually, in this photo, something bulges out of her a little below the waist. Maybe it's a penis! Maybe she's a bull!

    I think it's safe to say that Rob and Kathleen should be divorced immediately; Shamu^H^H^H^H^HKathleen most definitely should be married to (or at least dating) CowboiKneel, as their weights are complementary. Just think of the fun they could have! The could hang around at Kentucky Fried Chicken and count each other's chins whilst dining on fried chicken skin covered in that brown gravy stuff. Kathleen might even win! But, surely enough, no; everyone knows that no one is as fat as Cowboi.

    Moving back to the issue at hand, though - you can find more evidence of her species being that of the bovine type at Kathleen's rather dull website, sarcasta.net. Notice her obsession with "haybles?" These are frequently found in fields with, you guessed it, cows. Coincidence? I don't think so. The nail in the coffin proving her non-human status is the section of her website devoted to drawings of cows. Who, other than a cow, could draw bovine so accurately? No one, that's who.

    In closing, I'd like to say that the fact that Kathleen is a cow just can't be argued. There is simply just too much evidence leading to the conclusion that Kathleen is of the bovine persuasion to be ignored. One thing's for certain, though - Taco will never run out of milk for his Wheaties in the morning, will he? Moreover, if Taco's alone with his wife and starving, he could simply take a chunk out of her and fry it up, creating a tasty treat.

    These laws are up because the PEOPLE of the USA want them there. To continue actions like this show you are un-American. If you don't like the laws, LEAVE.

    stealing from the people who create and make the things you would enjoy is something else entirely...

    And as you know, as soon as you copy a song, somebody else's copy, far far away, suddenly dissapears, depriving them of their property and thus meeting the definition of "stealing". As opposed to, say, "pirating", which involves the loss of (theoretical, and in most situations very unlikely) income without the actual loss of an asset that was formerly possessed.
