Don't. Trust that if you offer a fair product at a reasonable price, then the consumers will buy it rather than copy it. It's the same model that worked with Non-copy protected cassettes back in the 80s and 90s.
The consumer (nay, customer, or better yet, citizen) loses nothing but his chains by resisting and refusing to pay into DRM schemes (with tax money in the case of UK citizens and the BBC). But if these schemes gain acceptability, then all content will eventually be locked down, so all "consumers" lose--even those who were willing to accept that some "premium 'content'" would be digitally restricted. Fortunately, if a human can see or hear something, a human can copy it so it's ultimately all a moot point: pervasive digital restrictions management will only serve to fuel a vast digital "underground" that will be underground only in name as social acceptability of its circumvention outweighs the shrill voice of the shills, the content "industry," and the politicians.
Then let the "content providers" take their ball and go home. If they think they're not leaving money on the table, their call. But keep your digital restrictions out of my living room.
They can do whatever they want, their EULA like every other one includes a clause allowing them to unilaterally change it with no notice to you other than a change at their website, which you should "check from time to time."
Why would anyone store their documents on any outside corporation's server, much less one with a demonstrated committment and ability to mine those documents?
Moonshine : an alcoholic beverage made with corn, wheat, or whatever one can get ahold of that will ferment usually causes blindness and draw the attention of revenuers -- the stuff granny made on the Beverly Hillbillies
The concoction oft-consumed by Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies was not moonshine. Did you miss the repeated disclaimers that it was only for medicinal purposes? (And that it could fuel the truck!)
If you don't like the profit motive start your own non-profit site that does this.
What does liking or not liking the profit motive have to do with a private enterprise making use of students' work without compensation? It looks as if you've danced around the issue while backhandedly trying to call me a Communist!
The fact is, any university or college requiring work to be submitted to any database of this sort is on shaky ground unless the practice is disclosed in the catalog. If this were a U.S. school, I wouldn't have been surprised to see this being settled in court, as opposed to an internal judicial procedure.
The big deal is that there's a big-assed difference between a college or university doing something like this on its own, and a commercial enterprise making money from the aggregation of the work of students across many institutions. No one has the right to make money from a student's academic work without his explicit permission. And any college requiring that permission be given as a condition of attendance is acting in a morally reprehensible manner.
Those will work so long as you're not using Windows ME or Windows XP, which include Secure Audio Path. An unsigned or non SAP-enabled soundcard driver won't have access to the raw PCM stream when playing a DRMd file. And when playing DRM files that require it, the signed drivers forcefully turn off the digital output on the soundcard. From here, things will only get worse if Palladium/NGCSB/TCPA/anti-fair-use-scheme-of-the-w eek becomes the law of the land.
I will even - and lean in close here, peckerheads - pay for stuff that I already downloaded for free just to get the aforementioned nice ID tags and bitrate quality I want, not to mention knowing the artists get their due.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.

"In hindsight we might have picked a simpler language than PL/I, . . ." Now there's an understatement!
But, but, but HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC!

Dongle?! Who would copy a mainframe emulator?
Why won't you say who? That's public record.
More likely, they'll turn you into the secret police for a few chocolate bars and a free itune.
Actually, you have to deauthorize before formatting--otherwise, that authorization is lost forever.

Given that BSE (Barrister Spongiform Encephalopathy) is carried in brain and spinal tissue, I didn't think we had much to worry about to begin with :).

Either one's OK with me. Thanks for the tip.
If the death penalty is good enough for hackers, now labeled terrorists, it should certainly be good enough for spammers.
Free range lawyers. Heard those are good eatin'! Much better than the stalled lawyers, that are all stressed and fed hormones and stuff.
There's too much interesting material there to look at online, so I'm making a local mirror with wget -m to peruse it when I have more time.

Ah, so some things are universal :). Thank you for replying!
What did it say? Anything interesting? Would you have to kill me if you were to tell me?
