  2. Re:no, really... on Tech Firms Fight Copy Protection Laws · · Score: 0

    the problem with both sides is that we want to choose if we want to be palladomised or not. sure letting the tech companies implement drm unregulated but where is the competition when the alliance contains all the top computer component and software makers? (i know linux isnt there but thats not the point at the moment). however if the government legislated that people had the option of using it or not or using it the way they want that would be much much better for the end user (instead of passing laws that enforce it unconditionally).

    thanks for your eyes...

  13. the... on Australian Gov't Lobbied To Implement Media Levies · · Score: 0

    problem with such a levy the criminals to not end up paying. and if this makes it ok to make copies then who is going to buy anything from retail? who cares if there is a small levy of cd media if it makes it legal to copy anything you want (i am assuming you dont have to have the original copy). since the levy is the counter balance the 'losses' they incurr. shouldnt they be pushing a levy in asian the piracy capital of the world? (or is this a misconception these days?).
