    Sure, but the title of the article says "anti-copying". As I said in my other response, it's nitpicking. Waste of time for me, really. But, while I'm at it again, seeing as I didn't RTFA, how am I supossed to trust that you're telling the truth, and the article actually says "piracy"? You already knew from my last post that I didn't RTFA, so you could just be preying upon my ignorance. You evil, evil person.

    Honestly, I'm just in a mood today- read some of my other posts and you'll see. Bored mostly, I suppose. Too much slashdot on the weekend.

    I don't understand... Why they always have to call it piracy.

    I know, it's hard to RTFA. I didn't read it, and I don't plan to. But really, let's at least RTF-Headline:SVP : More Video Anti-Copying Technology.

    Looks like a euphamism for piracy to me. Now, they could have used "piracy" there, but they didn't.

    So. Let's try not to mod the parent "insightful" or anything for that matter. Actually, ignore this post too. Really just nitpicking. I'm an asshole for it.

    Oh, and piracy sounds more adventurous. Arr harr harr, matey!

    I probably should have prefaced my comment with ::insert tongue firmly into cheak::

    But, as long as we're going to try to remain on topic, let's debate a bit:

    The fact that this may require additional on- or off-site support to implement does not neccesarily mean it will be bad for business. Perhaps it will cost x amount more than current solution to implement due to its unweildy, complex, and buggy nature, but maybe it will produce x^2 more productivity and profits, meaning it both creates more IT jobs for people like me, and makes workers more productive. In fact, the product I support and program for does exactly that-- It's a CRM system. It rhymes with FoldMine. It certainly has its issues and implementation problems, but is incredibly successful if getting its users to sell more.

    As for the Atlas, well, that's a reference to Atlas Shrugged. I am Atlas, and I shrug off the burden of holding up the world. Try reading the book if you're bored, but wear your tin-foil hat, or some other sort of crap filter, or swallow it with something more than a grain of salt. You'll need to reading anything written by Ayn Rand
