    How so? You have a random post from an AC with nothing to back it up and you blindly accept it. How the fuck is that good info? In fact that is the exact opposite of good info.

    Netflix hardly delivers content DRM free. Why do you think they used Silverlight?

    You want to get rid of DRM then change human nature. Bittorrent was the biggest user of bandwidth until the rise of Netflix. It still is the biggest user of upstream bandwidth, and while it may have legitimate uses, the majority of that traffic is unauthorized copies of movies and tv. While you may claim DRM is bad, is it any worse for society then the massive disregard for law.

    DRM is encryption, it is used for the same reason, to ensure only the correct recipient can get the information. If you want to get rid of one you need to get rid of the other.

    I for one have trouble with the people who want encryption for themselves but demand others don't use it. DRM = encryption. If you get your PGP, then they get their DRM.

    DRM is encryption, so you don't want us to have encryption?

    Don't support it then. Personally I feel there is space enough for both open and closed systems. (PS your NEVER going to get Netflix or any other legal streaming service without DRM, the studios have been very adamant about not giving their stuff away)

  12. Re: Um.. Why? on Prison Messaging System JPay Withdraws Copyright Claims · · Score: 2

    But it does not work as a deterrent, hence the high recidivism. Rehabilitation is the method that has been proven time and time again. Instead what we have now is a system that turns minor offenders into habitual offenders.

  15. Re:overturn murder conviction? on Prison Messaging System JPay Withdraws Copyright Claims · · Score: 1

    Yes because prisons are so comfortable now, and our recidivism rate is so low. Prison was supposed to be a bout rehabilitation, not just punishment. All prisons do now is turn minor criminals in to major criminals.

    They would be hard pressed to show financial harm, which is a requirement for them to invoke trade secrets. Since neither the secret handshake nor the robe colors provide any financial benefit from them being unknown I can't see this suit actually making it to a court room.

    Sure thay have a large insurance policy for their drivers, but how many of their drivers have a commercial license? Most states require a a special license for people getting paid to drive others around. Since most Uber drivers lack a commercial license I could easily see that being a reason for the insurance company to refuse to pay out.
