piracy uses different things. the guys who made the homebrew channel deliberately made it hard for the pirates to use their stuff. Nintendo should focus on the piracy and leave the homebrewers alone!
You actually saw legalese on the warranty of your iDevice? all I saw was "F you, Now pay for a replacement part or pay for a replacement iDevice. Or you could use some other mp3 player, but none of them will work with iTunes so you're stuck with us anyway!"
"I don't think piracy will be so widespread for many more years."
You are a idiot. the Internet is not a linear path, its a network. You can't block an entire network when it spans the entire world. The **AA Utter Idiots also don't seem to understand the Streisand Effect, the more you block/hide something the more people will want it, and more sites will pop up. Its like chasing a racehorse by riding a slug; They will never succeed totally.
These corporations cannot on one hand screech that it's a "free market" and that they "serve only their shareholders" when committing price gouging, mass layoffs without dire need, subsidizing their low pay with public welfare, and other such actions, and then turn around and demand protection from that very "free market" when it renders them obsolete. Can't have that one both ways.
Hollywood is scared of the market it been ripping off since the internet stole control from it? that makes sense, the known con man will flee while the unknown will stay.
a wall built?, you can find someone to smash it. annoying "protection"? you can easily get around it if you look in the right places. mandated spyware? easily tricked, eventually. The Streisand Effect.
If you deny it, it will become more interesting, whether you want it to or not. They need to learn this.
no, the typical facebook user thinks they have to google "facebook login" to login to facebook. Thats so far away from those guildmates of yours its uncomparable.
I thought copyrights, patents and trademarks had value.
You obviously don't pay attention to these things. if they actually had value or worth, the MAFIAA, Hollywood, and a few stupid game companies wouldn't know how stupid DRM is because it wouldn't exist, and the MAFIAA wouldn't be called that because their job wouldn't be to sue people, it would be whatever its supposed to be.
only some humility? Both need to be smacked down off their respective high horses, to start. not just that miniscule amount of humility you call 'some'.
speaking of C&C4, why must EVERY F*ING THING BE FPS-LIKE! FPS games bring STUPID buttonmashing idiots and sailor-cringing kids. I'm staying back here with C&C3 and actual strategy, thanks much.
We are currently seeing a resurgent of measles cases in kids BECAUSE parents are not vaccinating their children due to idiotic, repeatedly proven false concerns for vaccines causing autism.
"hey, my huge library of games don't work anymore!" "sorry, our servers have been shut down. please purchase [game] [sequel title/year]." "screw that! I'm never playing computer games again! >( "

So you WANT stuff to be lost when that publisher decides its not worth the auth. servers anymore?
IDIOT!
No one seems to notice that with the banking systems, that screwing up of the business model. they got bajillions.
All of them void the warranty.

So, telco funding by proxy, then?
He's not planning on selling DF, EVER. pure donationware. Isn't that enough for you?
I'm glad I never boarded the ship in the first place.
Of course Apple wants their secrets back, its Apple. not as much of a secret anymore, but still.

Aggh, a Monty Python reference!

No the Iphone isn't. It is King of the Fart App.
For your friends and family: get them macs. They will have a much harder time installing 53 flavors of solitaire filled with adware.
And when they want to play something that's Windows-only? what do you tell them? "sorry, get another computer"?

Fix'd.
Eventually.
Obviously. 663 to 13 is more like a 15/16ths majority.
A company hurting themselves ON PURPOSE? you must be crazy.
no, DRM will eventually kill it.
