DVD Jon Creates DRM Killer
Firmafest writes to let us know that 'DVD Jon' Lech Johansen's company has released an open beta of DoubleTwist, a desktop application that allows the user to copy media to any device. There's a Facebook app too. The software is available for download at Doubletwistventures.com. Currently only Windows is supported, but a Macintosh version is on the way.
1)Convert all of my HD DVD movies into Blue Ray movies?
2)Run on Linux
One of our competitors trademarked the term "hypothesis". From now on, we will call them "boneheaded ideas".
"You can't copy that tune from there to this device. You must pay another fee!"... I would guess it would be Prince.
Who else?

Every time this dude releases a hack I'm not interested in using, I end up being forced to download a new patch from Apple for my iTunes/iPod if I want to buy new music.
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.

intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Well if we can get everybody here on Slash to keep this little secret to ourselves, I'm sure there won't be any problems with the MPAA, DMCA or any other organizations harassing the company with lawsuits, etc. To quote the eloquent and charismaticSteve Jobs, "Loose lips sink ships".
threatening legal retaliation based on DMCA.
I'd like to see US law enforced over in Oslo, Norway. Wouldn't that be a hoot.

Um, if your sig is accurate, how the hell did you end up replying to an AC?
You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
Well, if you must know, there are magical anti-DRM pixies inside the code that lovingly polish every bit as it passes through the transcoding process just to get its guard down, then they sprinkle them with magic pixie dust to remove the DRM, and finish the process with a nice close shave and boot polish. It's a trade secret though so don't tell anyone.
Really though - a DRM remover is a DRM remover, and this just goes to demonstrate that you will *always* be able to break DRM with the analog hole, the whole thing is such a joke.
which is totally what she said
He knows it's a safe bet suing them since they'd rather settle out of court than admit to having a Prince song on their iPod. That should teach people for bulk downloading without checking what they are downloading. If you've downloaded 30,000 to 50,000 songs then there's a good chance there's a Prince song in the wood pile so you might want to cull them out.
