No, whatever software you use for ripping the discs will just be able to automatically download new keys from some source in a country that won't go after such a server. People with the cracked drives will just upload new keys as they get them.
That's not how the warez scene works. It's all about taking credit and releasing before anyone else. Contributing to a common repository is likely not very interesting.
Setting up such a repository is certainly no simple task, either.
There aren't that many titles out there on these new formats yet, so they'll probably be able to keep up with most of the new releases.
And what about later, when there are actually a lot of titles out there?
And I'm not sure how the usefulness or lack thereof has any bearing on the fact that Slashdot totally misunderstood the patent, as they do in every single patent outrage story?
No, it's the same thing every single time: Somebody patents some variation on a well-known techinque, or something that vaguely sounds like a well-known technique, somebody else misunderstands the patent and posts a wildly misleading story on Slashdot, nearly everybody rails against software patents, and nobody pays any attention to the daring few who point out that no, that's what what's being patented at all.
What good does it do you if the warez scene does this, anyway? Are you going to google for keys every time you want to watch one of your movies, or what?
You need both a Volume ID and a processing key (I think it was, anyway, this gets confusing) to get the final key.
It has been hard to get the volume ID, this makes it easier. But you still need the other parts, for which there is no reliable hack, only temporary ones.
Then how come that once Bill Gates finally poured some real money into research into a malaria vaccine, we now have a likely candidate in testing? Why did it take until now to figure that one out?
This is one of the big arguments against socialized medicine: since you can make $$$ off medicine, lots of people go into medicine to make $$$ and come up with new and interesting stuff...
You left out the "...for the rich, who can pay for it" part.
Tell me, why do we not yet have a vaccine for malaria?
Why would I be? Just watch the video. The shapes are just vaguely reminescent of each other, and the patterns produced by sound are heavil dependent on the shape of the plate used, and the material, anyway.
It's nothing but patterns in clouds.
The musical style also lends itself easily to random compositions, especially if you massage your data just enough to find that song you really know is in there somewhere.
I know a big issue too! The issue of Slashdotters who have not used windows since 1998 making comments about it as if they had any idea about how it works nowadays!

Because that takes zero effort, and because it is viewed as being for good cause. Also because it has rankings.
None of those are really true in this case, although I guess you could implement rankings if you really wanted to.

What is this supposed to mean? There are even more people outside the warez scene who can also solder.
Sure, but why would they bother doing all that work for you?

How many movies are released per day, and how many per day can you get off NetFlix?
Wow, those are some hardcore blinders you've got on. That's really impressive.
This means that person has to buy every single movie that is released. Not very feasible.
Er, that's not quite it.

To be fair, never attribute to stupidity what can be attributed to... other people's stupidity: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=233137&cid =18956771
Are you incapable of acquiring information from any other source than marketing material?
Salesmen must love you.
Yes, and?

You're trolling right?

Next you'll be asking for scientific verifiability in horoscopes.
I did, and their patterns hardly match at all without squinting your eyes, tiliting your head, and believing really hard.
Thank you for making the twenty-seventh RIAA/DRM joke in this thread. We truly appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to do this.
Wow, you sure are a brave rebel, posting it on somebody else's webpage.
All you have to do is yank the drive, put it in another computer and read them all as Admin there. ...and how is this different from ext3?
It was pretty obvious that your point was to talk about how evil Microsoft is.
It's Microsoft, they'll probably [...]
It's not quite a complete lie, but it's underhanded in the evil villian sort of way.
I know a big issue too! The issue of Slashdotters who have not used windows since 1998 making comments about it as if they had any idea about how it works nowadays!
Remember, if you can't find any thing Microsoft has actually done to criticize them for, just make something up!
All they do is cause problems and criminalize the very things they were meant to protect.
Yeah, like that dumbass law against killing. All it does is make it illegal to stay alive!
