I can't find this free download - could you provide some directions? You can order the game for $0.00 off the store at www.everquest.com, but I don't want to pay S&H.
Well, supposedly the NSA has the computing power to crack 512-bit keys in a reasonable amount of time. Surely the RIAA has the funding to buy enough power to crack 128-bit keys in the same emount of time, since there're 2^(512-128) times less possible keys...
I was going to shoot you down, but I see that their encryption is only 128-bit. Despite the fact that they use a new key for every stream, you only need to crack one stream to prove a copyright violation. However, there are probably laws against actively sniffing someone else's traffic. Bless the media for provoking anti-hacking laws!
Give me a signed boot disk and a place to stand, and I can move the world...or install another OS. I think it's time for "the rescue disk hole" to enter our memespace.
a copy of Conflict: Desert Storm or the sequel, given that you'll need about $50 to retrieve it. This would make good sense, as the real key is the explanation of why the place-holder is where it is and we don't want to have any chance of the place-holder's being moved or anyone seeing the guy putting it places.
Yeah, my thinking is that it'd be way too painful legally for either organization to pursue, once it caught on. The real trick is that it'd have to gain momentum in a very short time period before all the legal brunt hit a small number of people. Perhaps this could be arranged by agreement on existing p2p networks?
So if you can download in Canada and you can download in the U.S., why don't the Canadians share American music for the U.S.ers and vice versa? Surely that wouldn't be too hard to rig up, if only by agreement...
Once they control both the hardware and the media, it will be harder to crack.
Don't our anti-trust laws have any teeth? Don't we have any Congressmen on OUR side? Good grief.
Hmm...wouldn't esdmon be a tad easier? It's part of esound, duplicates the stream being sent to the sound device. (Found it after looking into whether a patch to esound would be viable)
I go down to my buddy's house, cable analog out on his CD player to analog in on my sound card, and dump the thing to disk. Then I compress it to MP3 or OGG and skip merrily away.
Linux - DRM-apathetic since 1991!
Seriously, Linux is going to be around for some time, and with the source for most stuff all over it CAN'T go back in the bottle. Just keep noncompliant software around and DRM worries will be a nonissue. Remember, content can be either viewable or completely secure, not both, and there's always sneakernetting.
I didn't even realize until a month or so ago that email didn't require anything really special or even a constant Internet connection, but then I found out Comca$t forbids running servers, so I couldn't do it myself. The Internet would be loads cooler if everyone could actually contribute, but I guess we won't have it until the people take the network hardware itself out of corporate hands. Let's hope those Roofnet dudes over at MIT hurry the heck up, eh?

Aren't cars Faraday cages? If so, why do cellphones still work in them? We just learned about this in physics =\

Why would simply using this program be illegal? Internet access certainly isn't, nor is attempting to maintain one's privacy.

John/Jane Doe, then the identity is filled in via a "real" subpoena.

Are you suggesting that his PORTABLE CD PLAYER will have a network connection? That, sir, is ridiculous.

No, the Linux distributions would be broken if they included a driver that didn't function properly. I believe the word you want here is "incomplete".
Counter Strike players...
and in neither case does the digital reward for success match the real life version.
You mean sex is even BETTER than wanking?!

Whatever you say, Mr. Orwell. Here's a novel idea: don't buy it! Consumer reluctance will, at the very least, slow DRM adoption.

Two words: Analog hole. Also, I'm pretty sure one could write some sound card drivers that piped WAV data to disk instead of to speakers...

Yeah, this could increase British public health - three minutes of jogging around the house for every hour of computer use could add up =)
Actually, all you need is one really good computer and one interface per person. Ever heard of remote access?
Because now the site's slashdotted, you insensitive clod!
