The ironic thing is that this actually happened. A cloner got a nastygram about "Bedtris" infringing on the TETRIS® trademark; it was changed to Bedter. A followup letter accused the cloner of infringing on look-and-feel copyright.
a 330 KB Tetris clone called Tetanus On Drugs. It's one of the few Tetris clones with a framerate. The included exe is for DOS, but it includes GPL'd source and recompilation instructions for Windows and Linux.
No, but I have done virtual DMT playing Tetris. (It's called Tetripz.) I decided to replicate the experience in open source, and the result was TOD: Tetanus On Drugs.
SDMI content is watermarked in such a way that it survives D->A->D->A->D conversion and most audio compression schemes. Anything watermarked that hits Napster, iMesh, Gnutella, etc. is fully traceable.
Operating systems can be made SDMI-compliant too. For example, Windows ME and Whistler have a secure audio path that sends audio only to signed drivers. Fat chance Microsoft will sign a driver that fails to disable What-U-Hear (a waveOut to waveIn redirector) or, for that matter, any redirection to a digital stream, for audio data sent down the Secure Audio Path.
or even a sound-card driver that dumps the sound data to a place that can be decoded
There is a secure audio path in newer versions of Windows (ME and Whistler) that only signed drivers have access to. Anything sent down the secure audio path will not get sent to anything but an analog receiver/speaker/etc. because Microsoft signs a driver if and only if:
the driver passes stress tests in Windows Hardware Compatibility Labs, and
the driver shuts off all digital outputs (including without limitation waveOut->file, waveOut->socket, SBLive-style waveOut->waveIn, and waveOut->digital out on card).
Using VMWare virtualization under Linux to get between the sound card driver and the sound card is a violation of 17 USC 1201 (commonly known as DMCA).

Isn't there a Windows audio driver that records to disk?
Windows Media Digital Rights Management has a Secure Audio Path ( Google search )that only drivers signed by Microsoft can use. To get signed, a driver has to be bug-free in Windows Hardware Compatibility Labs stress testing, and it also must disable all cleartext digital outputs (including without limitation writing to a file, digital output on the card, and waveOut to waveIn like SB-Live). Unsigned drivers (like your waveOut writer) will not get signed.
Circumventing this with VMWare under Linux and a/dev/audio grabber is most likely a violation of DMCA.
Mac OS X's kernel (Darwin) is not your typical monolithic BSD kernel. It's a Mach kernel with a layer of BSD-like services around that. Darwin is Nearly-Free Software under the Apple Public Source License.
...and Windows 4.1.1 (aka Windows 98 + SP1) + various individual fixes (mostly security patches) on my laptop. Windows Update _does_ show a "service pack" that contains an updated jvm and security fixes.
With all other variables equal (bus speed, HD speed, etc.), a 500 MHz PowerPC G3 is approximately twice as fast as a 1 GHz Intel PII/P!!! at doing hard-core integer number crunching (Photoshop, some 3D games in software mode, d.net) according to the SPEC integer math benchmark. And the vector unit in G4 is quite a bit easier to code for than the vector unit in PIII, giving even more speed and boosting Team Slashdot's RC5 rating. <O ( \ XPlay Tetris On Drugs!

they're not forcing it on anybody
MAPS isn't forcing MAPS on ISPs, but often the only ISP whose modem is a local call in your town forces MAPS on its customers.
That said, no-one forces anyone else to actually use the RBL.

What if Tetris itself could simulate the drugs itself? It'd probably be a bit like Tetanus On Drugs for DOS and Linux.

If you're sick and tired of video game violence, push nonviolent games such as Tetris on your kids.
Most people dream about sex and drugs in college
Well, the sex can be replaced with Tetris (imagine the 4-stick is a penis). Now you're left with Tetanus On Drugs.
You need a bigger challenge: playing Tetris under the influence.
Play Tetanus On Drugs. It's a Tetris clone for Linux, DOS, and Windows that (poorly) simulates the effect of hallucinogenic drugs.
a game of tetris that I had to solve that was simply out of control.
Psychedelic Tetris dream? Did it look anything like Tetanus On Drugs?
Didn't the Tetris Company try to sue clone developers such as Pin Eight Software?

The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act exploits a loophole in the Constitution that makes "the lifetime of the Universe" a valid value for "limited times" in the copyright clause. It's all part of the slippery slope to make copyright perpetual. This must be stopped; click here to help.
