It's not a misconception. If you move between Europe and the US, it becomes very apparent that the US is more concerned about swearing and sex and Europe is more concerned about violence.
Oh I see, you are a troll after all. Sorry, I replied before, I hadn't realized. Could you make it a bit clearer at the top of your first post next time? Thanks.
On the contrary, I'd say Auntie has a really strong case that she never had the key to someone else's encrypted data stored on her drive, so the RIP act would not apply to her.
Also in the near future: DVD players having their playing rights revoked (a code on the disc only allows keys stored on approved players to access the content. Both of these are not "coming-up" technologies, they exist at this very moment in hardware, it is just a matter of time before manufacturers activate them.
The agencies would presumably argue that it is possible to flag an ID as suspicious even though the bad guys don't know it yet. The fact that the agencies did not stop them on 9/11 (either the IDs were not flagged or the mechanism to stop people with suspicious IDs was non-existent or broken) does not mean that the concept of checking IDs is entirely flawed.
I confess, I don't know. There are some artists that I like on emusic, but I don't know whether they, or their labels, are affiliated with the RIAA. Nor do I know how to find out.
Are you saying that none of emusic's artists are affiliated with the RIAA? If so, how do you know that?
Mp3 doesn't support DRM. Actually, there are DRM'd mp3 implementations out there probably, but no digital music player will support them. The recording industry will NEVER allow the online sale of an un-DRM'd digital audio file.
Erm, eMusic has been selling MP3s for ages. I think that they are supposed to announcing some changes this month too. Yup, see here.
The number of bits used by the key is not enough to judge the security of the system. You could have a crap cryptographic algorithm or, more likely, a crap protocol.
The FAQ says that it's USB, although they don't say whether you will need a driver on the PC or whether they will supply one. They do say that it will only be bundled with a console game initially.

You'll probably find this article extremely helpful. It won an Ignobel award.
Hold down the STOP button on the remote for a few seconds to eject the disk.
And for history buffs, this all came from James Clark's DSSSL (both a transformation system and a formatting language) for SGML.
WTF? You really have no idea what a rootkit is, do you?

And what's the lifetime cap on her insurance policy? What will she do if she runs into the lifetime cap and can't get more coverage?
Your last statement is quite bizarre. Have you ever spent more than six months at a time outside of North America. If not, you should try it.

I firmly believe that this is insignificant. Honestly, point-to-point encryption is not a big problem. Key management is much more of a problem.
CSS is hardly a paragon of sound security engineering: homegrown algorithm, short keys, and keys in software.
Moreover the US crypto export rules are different now, so proper algorithms and key lengths can be used now (for most countries!).
You can write the VM, but you won't be able to guess a valid key... Good luck in extracting the key from tamper-resistant hardware.
You are Ghyslain aren't you?

Looks like he might like Pastiche.

Could you elaborate on this please?

I'd rather they had my credit card number than a check with my account number, bank, and address...
Have you considered the possibility that you might be an asshole?
You should upgrade your server room!
11 engineers and 1 project manager at Be then? :-)
They have to worry about whether it would work for users. I don't think the Be engineers had to... :-)
