I agree to that other nations than USA have the choice of writing laws to counter this.
Lets say any recording being "locked down" as stated previously has forfeited all Copyright Protection and is fair game for anyone to copy.
If the movie, record, software industries wants to sell their products to these countries they will have to do it in "unlocked" with protection preserved.
Hello! There has to be some country brave enough to do this. Pushing it forwards in the European Union could be a possibility too although they seem to want to "conform to the legislation of USA" in these matters.
Anyways, it is our representatives who are able to do this.
So Sweden, Germany, lets give RIAA, MPAA, USA the finger;P
Have and old Fujitsu B112 and it has an external PCMCIA-card-based CD-rom that will not even eject without being initialized.
I have to make those boot floppies somewhere =)
So yes, there is a place for them floppy-drives too
If these guys are coming out with illegal activities I cannot see why it would be morally incorrect to get a movement together trying anything to stop it.
PR doing their part, hackers doing theirs.
It would be possible to muster more manpower than these MPAA could ever buy.
And.. If the guys working at MPAA would ever go abroad.. they could get arrested and put in jail by laws created by not so greased representatives.
Patents on method in software is just plain stupid. Often it is just a matter of putting stuff together. All combinations do not have prior art. But there is often nothing special with it.
Yes.. The logic is really twisted.
Acctually.. Most bad things on the net come from the US. (China and Russia are also good candidates) =)
So lets make a new institution for keeping a simple phonebook-service.
Or just use a Democratic existing one like opennic.
A few large providers doing this (like Telia in Sweden) and we would be safe from the "evil" Americans =)
