First they'll have to convince a judge that using a copy protection scheme that has been used in scores of other games, and has already been in court and found legal (other than when it damages your PC) is suddenly illegal.
Boycotting works just as well as it always has. Do you think the Montgomery bus boycott would have worked if only Rosa Parks was boycotting it? Of course not.
Outlook is great unless you use IMAP. Microsoft purposely made IMAP support suck. It can't even be attributed to incompetence it sucks so bad.
I mean crossing out deleted mails and not only not hiding them, but not moving them to the deleted folder?
Sending sent mail to the LOCAL sent folder?
No thanks.
I didn't say it was the correct word to use, only that it is indeed a word. It's been in widespread use for the better part of a century. Language is not static.
This isn't a restriction on the media itself. It's a restriction on how you obtain the media.
Is it DRM if the record store won't replace your scratched CD? No. Granted CDs cost more than bandwidth, but the principle is the same.
It's shady, but it isn't DRM.
I'd rather it be tied to an account than to a device, especially if the device has a high failure rate.
But I bought the Warhawk disk so I can resell it.
Then don't put it online. I still want my media to be transferable among the various devices I own, and tcp/ip seems to be the easiest way to go about it.
Being able to transfer to a device not currently attacked to my home network is a nice bonus of putting it online, though.
I've backed up my drive, but have not had need to restore any backups as of yet. If I fill up my drive with movies, then back it up, and delete them, can I restore just one movie from that backup, or will it overwrite everything I put on my drive since the last backup?
I didn't say the file had no DRM. I said the download limit isn't DRM.
If you were able to copy the file to another PS3, you'd still only be able to download it once.
This isn't DRM. All this is is a limit on the number of times you can download the file. Even if the file had no DRM at all, you'd only be able to download it once.
Get your terminology straight.

It's not really the same. Letting your kid smoke pot at home is more akin to letting them download porn, but monitoring what porn they download.
I think you're confusing ethics and legality. It might be illegal, but it definitely isn't unethical.
Next we'll see China seize 141 illegal democracy websites, such as whitehouse.gov.
i made the reference to 'good enough'. if you're a videophile that wants 1080p then go and buy it!
Where?

Boycotts are not about press coverage. Companies don't care if they take a beating in the press if everyone is still buying their product.
This is exactly why we have to bail out the lazy bankers who couldnt be bothered to risk check their own assets,
"the most common websites visited by personal web surfers were online trading sites"

With the money you'd spend on a suit, you could rebuy the game several thousand times over.

So your problem with Windows Mobile is that it behaves like Windows?
You bought an ssh client? You do know you can get that on the iPhone for free, right?

Blu-Ray costs more than the alternatives? Where else can I buy 1080p movies? I'm not being sarcastic, I'd love another source.

It IS a word: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless
i have a 37" LCD and the difference is readily apparent. 480p and 1080p look WAY different.
The masses buy DVD, though. Got any theories on why the masses tolerate that DRM?

There's a difference between not going to jail for joining NAMBLA, and not being fired and scorned for it.
