I'm not. I Freelance computer repair, and 9/10 computers that I come across that are clients need fixed, have limewire/bearshare etc... on them. I look at that and tell them thats the first thing that has to go.
"But Why..." Because first off, for what youre using it for, isnt legal, and 2nd, its a hotbed for viruses
i've got a netbook from them that's got this implemented. It's a pain in the ass and takes forever for the software to recognize you.
Also, Say you gain 30 lbs and your face plumps out, well, it won't recognize you anymore (i shaved my goatee and it locked me out of my own computer)
Its a great idea poorly executed in my opinion, what it should do, on a daily basis, is take a snapshot of your face and update itself. Unless you go through a DRASTIC change, it should work.
They pulled this shit with Dragon Age as well, with the Feast Day Gift/pranks pack. In order to download/install any DLC, you had to PURCHASE the Feast Day pack. Absolute Bullshit in my eyes.
""Same thing with movies. It's (mostly) not that I'm cheap, it's that convenience trumps pretty much anything. If I want to watch a movie and have to A) go for a drive, pay $8-10 to rent a movie, and drive back to deliver it the next day, or B) Spend 30 minutes downloading it Hm, real tough choice there..
The solution? Let me quickly and easily pay an amount of money small enough to be "insignificant"* to access high-quality content.

IIRC, my father told me a similar story of when he was younger, and out hunting pheasant with a friend of his.
After long hours of no birds to be shot, either he or his friend got a little triggerhappy, and took aim at a shitter, deep in the woods. the owner was close by and nearly pressed charges. Luckily he didnt.
Listen, First off don't castrate me because you think i'm a pirate. I don't pirate PC games. I don't pirate games PERIOD.
I Never said that i would DIE if i didn't play this hypothetical game. If it got to be THAT bad, professional help would be sought out.
Next, I BUY every single one of my games. I Buy them Brand New as a matter of fact, so as to SUPPORT Developers, so before you throw accusations around, let me be the one to squash that theory.
This may be, But it's also not a solution if you REALLY want to play that game with the horrid DRM. So once again, Pirating gets around that, if the DRM is cracked.
"Which, predictably, they'll attribute to piracy..."
Which would be incredibly stupid on their part, because there's no way to hack a ps3 as of yet...
The only way to make these sales go down, is to share your account info with a friend or 4, have them download the games to their ps3, essentially screwing yourself over if you ever have the displeasure of your console going tits up.

I read this as "DHS wants to monitor web for Torrents"

1. Buy Roomba
2. Set virtual walls
3. Set cat on top of Roomba while Roomba Vacuums
4. Play Half-Life
Did you get paid for that?
You must have one mighty beefed-up Netbook to be playing full fledged PC Games...

Moral of story - Don't shoot the shit.
or go to trial, have the feds plant/conjure up some cockamamie evidence, and be put in jail for the rest of your life... yea that's an alternative...

As would be the business plan (as inept as it may be) of any software producer, not just Sony.
Software not doin so well? Blame it on the Yarghilicious Pirate community.
