when they use such low res images in print or online, what's the point of having fancy camera? granted that goes for the entire industry. in the era of hd, there is no acceptable reason to not have links to the high res photos on any news site.
This would be like claiming I could videotape me watching last night's "The Office" finale, upload it, and claim that Reveille Productions can't sue me for copyright infringement.
unless it was an educational study/critique on/of your reaction to the episode, all cinéma vérité style, which should be legitimate.
This is just a opening salvo in the war against replicators. After all, 3D printers are the path to eventual full-scale replication. Better nip it in the bud now, with a hot-button topic like guns.
Why don't they just roll their own plug-in and have it available on every system?
If they're are going to rely on a 3rd party again, it's going to be more of the same.
If they're going to do it in-house, the current system already works.
Either, I'm going to assume this new system only removes some of the dev costs:
Instead of dealing with both OS and browser level, it'll just be the OS level,
which seems to be insignificant, unless the browser has strayed from the current standards.
If you want an open web, then certainly this DRM should also have to open, right?
I mean, anyone should be able to use it for their own content, it being a part of this open framework and all.
it surely is not up to me to know which version is which, so by releasing the fake-cracked version, they are saying it's okay to download any version on the torrent networks. well, played guys. well, played.
did you not get the memo? they don't give a fuck. did this same marginalized household you speak of not have to do the mandatory firmware updates via online to play the latest game(s) that called for said firmware update?
I like how you dis him then say what he was obviously inferring: that he does want à la carte (HBO and Shotime, specifically) and not the garbage channels (9 channels of QVC, a few religious stations and a ton of other crap). Comprehension, much?
I was just going to write something similar. At least with, say, Comcast's onDemand, you can watch the first 10 minutes, and then pay and continue the film, if you want. This is stupid.
If they were using it to distribute the film, the studio might have some kind of point, though that point would be "How the heck can you distribute a movie on which you spent a minimum of $10 million just on the two lead actors (and probably more) via a medium you can't charge for?"
Well, they could make it work like many private tracker sites, where if you're not a member, it won't work. Just pay at the site to get the torrent.
i do agree, and pretty much all tvs made now have this stuff built-in. there can be issues though:
1. hardware manufacturers won't always put the apps on older, yet seemingly capable devices.
example 1: i have a samsung blu-ray player that is a few years old. it can play netflix, hulu+, ultraviolet (via vudu), but no amazon vod or hbo go apps. the player should be more than capable and not all of those apps came installed by default. i guess samsung wants me to buy a new player.
example 2: my roommates' toshiba tv has netflix and even an app store, but there is no hulu+, amazon vod,etc. pretty lame.
2. there is no hardware neutrality, so who is to say this amazon box or a built-in amazon app will work with all isps?
example 1: comcast + hbo go [on the roku] = not working, but comcast + hbo go [on tablets, phones, pcs* and xbox 360] = working. that is fucking retarded.
example 2: hulu+ and their streaming !=streaming shenanigans, where some stuff only streams on the website and other stuff only through its apps and i'd bet there is even more fragmentation in the apps (stuff will play on phones, but not through blu-ray player app).
I've always thought it was weird that books seem to be able to use brand names with no problem
Exactly. I remember when Counter-Strike went from bring a mod to retail release, and they had to change the gun names.
You can't use the names like every other book out there, but you can still use deliberate visual copies? Peculiar, indeed. Hmmm.
whenever you get some brand to show up in the game, it's always one-sided and not diverse like the real world. if it's an urban setting and there is a mcdonald's, surely there is a burger king or wendy's or taco bell or something within a few square blocks. if the store has coca-cola, put some pepsi and rc cola in the same aisle. go all out or gtfo.

either way, they're serving it in a thimble instead of on a platter.

or al-qaeda
even faster: just download it directly to the usb stick

bullshit.

They would have to try some content without it first and see what happens.
You mean like all the drm-free music that is currently being sold in record numbers?
Yup, one basket for all those eggs.
Shame about any master key(s)/source code getting released after widespread adoption.;)

well, ANY money they see from this is still way better than NO money, right?
cs6 != version 6.0, it is actually 12.1. just sayin'

bullshit. they could very easily make it always-online and also allow used games.
what about the old stuff that netflix offers the same version of without advertising?

Why didn't Microsoft make Silverlight platform independent?
