Anyone can simply go on yahoo.com and do a people find for "Darl McBride" in Salt Lake City, Utah and call him up and give him a peice of your mind. I already have, god I love such sensitive information in the public domain. Next, Bill Gates!:)
I am willing to pay.50 cents for a song, but I will not pay.99 cents. For.99 cents a song I'd rather buy the CD, at the same cost.. plus you get CD quality sound, not 128kbit, or whatever the quality is.
It's because of all the booming IT schools that hand out IT degrees like it's water.
Get your computer degree in only 24 hours! IT schools make me want to switch my major to something less main-stream.
Hi, my name is like katie I wrote like a book called katie.com. I've been like a spoiled bitch since I was a fetus. I think like just because I was dumb enough to like pick a book title like that, and get raped, that I should be entitled to the domain katie.com.
There is actually a big difference between John DeCSS hacking the dvd format to have it run in linux and Real taking an ipod device and reverse engineering it. First, John DeCSS wasn't in it for money it was a hobbyist movement to get DVD's working in linux. Real is taking a device apple has created and reverse engineered it to allow Real to make money off of it. They don't own the rights to the product to make these changes, or allow such changes. Second, a dvd is a format that really should run on anything, freely. The ipod is a device that one company alone should have control over, the creator.
If real wanted to get involved in the booming online music industry, perhaps they should have created their own audio player like napster did.
This really makes me mad that someone would take a product another company made and reverse engineer it to run their product. Thats like reebox taking a nike shoe and just branding it with their own logo.
I could see if this was for personal use, but real is obviously trying to make money off of a product they didn't even create. Perhaps real should invest in the making of an ipod clone instead, of course it will fail, but then again they always have been failing. Message to real: invest more money in your spyware.

Like we won't reverse engineer it in a week or so.
I use gpg on everything I put on my jump drive. It's not like the software to "secure" the data runs on linux anyway.

Done something right? They're the ones that started it.. they remedied their own stupidity.
I think she should be made a victim again. She should stop using computers, and rename her book to something more appropriate.
