the title would not read "Americans Plan to Build World's Biggest Telescope"
phtttph! j'yeah... right
The title was misleading. It's that 'arrogant/inferiority' complex we have with our friends to the south. Also from being drunk and fat on beaver tail and oh my god, stoned.:)
I don't know the DMCA that well, but isn't there clauses regarding 'circumventing protection' ?
Isn't that what they're doing by hiding files from the Windows API, and possibly virus scanners? How about the removal tool as well, what are the exceptions to the anti-circumvention clause? Does it specifically state that the parent company is exempt?
"Spend more money on "independent" filmmakers and musicians. Listen to more live music. Tell people why they should do the same (they've given us tons of ammo). Spread the music and films via P2P when the creators allow it. If you are a musician or filmmaker, see if you can do it without the studio and use the net to find your audience."
Exactly!
The MPAA/RIAA seem to forget, They NEED US - we DON'T NEED THEM!
Once the quantum computer has all possible keys for an encrypted item, how does it know which is the *right* one?
I mean, I can understand it comparing results to a dictionary in the case of a text-based item, but what about say an image? How does it weed out the false positives?

just hoping the DMCA will devour itself
(who modded your's as 'insightful'
when even the lawyers can't agree on what is legal and what is not.
Convenient and self-fulfilling ain't it?
