ISP Executive: And, even if the movie is moderately successful, our packet-shaping algorithm will make it nearly impossible for these hax0rs to download the darn thing in under 24 hours.
MPAA Bossman: Perfect! Yet another reason that this will be proven a failed model when I file my report for the in-the-bag-legislators, err, studio execs.
All: Huzzah! Huzzah!
I have no stake in this whatsoever but just wanted to share what I've stumbled across from Unsanity (Posted by slava at October 27, 2007 11:45 PM): Leopard!. As always, YMMV.
There are a fewarticles that point out that the software that Fujitsu Transaction Solutions developed for these devices is not, in fact, responsible. I heard a quote in a radio soundbite yesterday afternoon from a Fugitsu spokeperson suggesting that there is no security vulnerability in their ware. In either event, it seems like there is more to the story than we know today. Is this simply a ploy by Visa (or others?) to spin public (read, media) opinion?
However, let's not forget that Mr. Torr is considering the "average" user who simply navigates to he Mozilla home page and clicks Free Download using, of course, their default installed browser (which, arguably, may have already been compromised).
Those users, which, like it or else, account for the vast majority of all personal computer users, do not even know how to spell gpg. And they are the ones who need the protection the most.

We'll see...
Very interesting process... Anyone know of any facilities that host public tours? In the US? In Europe? Etc.?

Apparently, not.
The section titled "Online Music Stores" (http://oakley.com/catalog/eyewear/thump/music/) indicates that Apple's iTunes with its ACC 128 kbps format is "n/a (iPod only)."
Oh well...
