Intel Threatens DMCA Using HDCP Crack
mikesd81 writes "Intel is apparently threatening to use the DMCA against anyone using the HDCP crack under the DMCA's anti-circumvention clause. 'There are laws to protect both the intellectual property involved as well as the content that is created and owned by the content providers,' said Tom Waldrop, a spokesman for the company, which developed HDCP. 'Should a circumvention device be created using this information, we and others would avail ourselves, as appropriate, of those remedies.'"

You've found a foolproof way to protect your obsolescent DRM. After all, it worked so well for DVD/CSS.
Unless you can shoot the horse down, hang the horse thief and buy another horse.
The problem comes when you forget about all that happened and put the new horse in a new barn, which is open.
See how DRM drives up prices for consumers? Strippers without HDCP cost much less than $400.

What! My theory is as sound as yours.
And much better for a movie.
Or just assume you can keep using the same horse.
Speaking of horses, this analogy is starting to seem like beating a dead one. Let it go...
If they are from management they probably figured that out already...
But that horse is dead.
It's passed on. That horse is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. That is a late horse. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the barn, it would be pushing up the daisies.

Sarcasm detectors, on the other hand, are not covered by this.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
So, what are you saying? The horse is no more?

Actually, it's not quite dead yet.
In fact, I think it's feeling better.
