Elcomsoft's tool is to eBooks what DeCSS is to DVDs. You can use it for fair use purposes, but its primary use is to unencrypt the work so that it can be distributed to people who don't legally own it. Elcomsoft even advertised it as such.
LIE. Elcomsoft advertised its product as means to make a copy for fair use, from legally purchased e-book.
I am really curious of your identity, anonymous (you can find out mine, if you e-mail me), but I bet you $5 that you are on a payroll for one of the inetereseted parties. Liar.
You can stand whereever you want, dumb anonymous, but if you find me where the heck it states that he sold program in person on the conference, as you, obviously a paid-for industry insider, stated - I will send you $5. It does state that they were able to buy it through a third aprty website from his employer. So, please, shut the fuck up - you did not do your homework.
1. For the 100th time, Sklyarov was NOT arrested for giving his talk, nor was he arrested for creating the eBook cracker when he was in Russia. He was arrested for selling it to customers in the US over the internet and for selling in person while in the US at the conference.
And exactly where did you get this information from? I do not remember anybody mentioned sales here, not does DOJ complaint on arrest mention it. I think you are full of it.
..is "supposed". In fact State Socialism was about providing state run corporations and keeping general public in check. The fact that it is other way around - corporation run state rather than state run corporations, does not change the outcome.
We are all under constant control (credit checks, all sort of records), we are taxed heavily (50 fucking % in my check - compare that to 12% flat in current Russia) and this money are used to feed the lumpens and sponsor goverment police acting in corporate interests.
Of course it is an exaggeration, but only up to a point - and the moderator of my post above is an asshole.
..will they repeal DMCA in the Congress. They are all owned, lock and stock, by large IP joints. It will just never happen. Period. get over it - you have no rights and no privacy. Russia won the cold war after all - it is a perfect state socialism in this country.
Even though reproducing old technology may have some historical interest - and doing research may lead to inteeresting technological observations - practical need for this is IMO pretty low. Given all modern materials available.
I would rather have my armor made of titanium, and my sword of CroMo..;)
I am not going to be hugging trees and saving fish anymore.
Yep. Buy a gun and head for Montana woods..;-)
On a somewhat more serious note: life is not fair, and some bad guys do get away with it. But - as far as white collar crime (not in this case, as it was no crime IMO) is no less disturbing then a highway robbery.
Pink Floyd newsgroup, in your case, WAS the intended receipient, so it is legally binding indeed. Did it make sense - no, but it did not nullify this disclaimer..
to clarify - you have not got a slightest idea of what I am talking about, you will probably get an "F" from me, in signal analysis class I tought, and you want detail you are free to E-mail me, anonymous prick..
You are the arrogant m.. here, sorry. Did not you get it? It is not about the quality of the filter, and ringing, or whatever. I can define nice narrow transition, smaller that detector (ear) resolution, and require curtain level of suppresion, well below detector sensitivity floor, get lotsa poles, and for all practical purposes it is an equivalent of an ideal high-frequency cutoff. But back in the time space, I will introduce distortion, that is rather audible: because ear is NOT a detector purely in frequency space - it does have time sensitivity as well, think wavelet transform - with curtain time-frequncy plane divisions. So, nice cutoff of sensitivity to a pure sine above 12K, does not mean dropping above 12K components is not detected.
BTW, one of my favorite reviews on time-frequency analysis (not related to hearing) Mallat's "Wavelet tour of signal processing" Nice reading..
..have not heard anything more moronic in a while.
What scattered light? Are you nuts? It is either 0 or 1, with great redundancy and error correction. That's the idea of digital.
In fact - traffic outside your house will introduce more noise, then you eliminate with this fancy cable.
Man, to a large extent physics IS an exact science (now I have said it).. Learn something.
I just took my WinAmp, and itroduced a brickwall cutoff at around 14K. If you can not hear a brickwall at 14K - you are deaf. Yes - you will not hear HARMONICS above 12, but you will hear DISTORTION from their absense quite well.
In fact, you ear performs something closer to wavelet transformation, rather then Furier, and is quite sensitive to the abrapt transitions with spectrum far beyond 12 or even 20 in some cases..
..it is always good to have a fair margin, so 96/24 is not too redundant.
I am no expert in human hearing, but for one my signal processing work I used a rule to have average power of distortion to be 1/10 of what I considered an intrinsic accuracy of the source/receiver operation. To account to the fact that it is *average* power - many non-continuous signals (think drums) will have strong harmonics well below the normal band - which when folded back in with a brickwall will give you pretty bad distortion...
Go, do yourself a favor and read some good book on signal physics.
If you hear up to 12Khz, you want you equipment to be linear and sampling of the digitization to be up to at least 24Khz. Even then you may get VERY noticable artifacts due to nonlinearity of the system in the area well above 12Khz..
Basically 96Khz/24bit sampling seems to be where you really hit physiological limits.
It would seem to me that for all the high end systems, room acoustics would be a bigger factor. It is definitly a huge factor in live performances..
Personally I listen music only in my car. Where even MP3 256kb quality is sufficient. But I DO hear the difference between MP3, CD, and life performance. I just do not care enough.
.. almost anybody can go on and make this chip and sell it to you - (actually chips are good - they made for much more efficient engines) - but there is still hundreds of places to modify, if you wish, in your car, and thousands independent mechanics to do it for you. I can bolt anything from a supercharger to new brakes to my 325xi wagon.. It is not like you have to go to the dealer to change you copy controlled proprietory oil. Or have to buy a permit for each approved trip route from SRAA - Scenic Route Association of America... and that's what some PC/content vendors are dreaming about...

For the 101th time: lie and bullshit. Read offical DOJ complaint.
Stupid anonymous moron.

I think I hve met this custodian dude on one of the Russian parties around here - need to check - will invite him for barbeque in Santa Clara.. ;-)
I do not think he should flee. He will get case dismissed - and find a good job around here. It is nice for us, russians, in the good old B.A. ;)

.. which is exactly the same. (absense is due to a presense of the filter)
..sorry for bad terminology, by "folded" back, I actually meant "absent" ;-))))
