The martians wrote "wash me" in the dirt on the solar panels (thus cleaning some of the dirt away). That's what causes the solar panels to be more effective.
This still doesn't change the fact that you can copy ANY video or audio, regardless of format.
What's to stop me from plugging my dvd player into my tv tuner? Or my CD player to my sound card? In the end, the video or audio MUST come out in the common audio/video format playable by our tv's and speakers, which means you can always intercept it there.
The issue isn't IF it can be copied, it's AT WHAT QUALITY it can be copied at. For instance, I can always make a copy of your DVD by getting my video camera. And in the case of most, if not all of these copy protection schemes, it can be done perfectly.
Media companies need to recognize this and re-think their marketing strategies and business models. The times and technology are changing, so should they.
"Ultimately, if it is possible for a consumer to hear or see protected content, then it will be technically possible for the consumer to copy that content."
From what the article says, what was said to Steven is obviously rude, but what else can be done about it? The article didn't mention any racial or ethnic slurs being throw at him.

Kind of funny how AC's bash him, some are marked Troll and others Funny or Informative (whilst posting his personal info, which I think is much worse than throwing a silly jab at him). Yet this is the very thing he's going after yahoo! for.
We're entitled to our opinions, and so long as we don't throw racial, ethnic or gender insults. It will be interesting to see how this case unfolds.
