Hardware players can be individually revoked. There will be no hassle for any customer but yourself.
Software players are different, but as far as I know their keys are meant to be revoked every six month regardless of whether they have been compromised or not anyway, so they're built to make revoking easy.
Actually, people post in the first post because the Slashdot comment system is so horribly broken that only the first handful of comments ever get read. If you're not out there commenting in the first minutes, nobody's going to read what you say.
Do you also complain about the "church" of heliocentrism or the "church" of the germ theory of disease? Stop projecting your own ignorance of science onto those who actually do know things.
If you don't mind, we'd prefer if you used the same language as the rest of us, and not make up your own definitions for words. It makes communication somewhat easier.

I also wonder why so many people are convinced that specific limits on free speech are a new thing (they aren't), and that such limits make it impossible to protect speech which needs to be free (it hasn't).
Because if you had more than the most tenous of grasps on history and reality in general, you wouldn't be a libertarian.
I know it's too much to expect people to read the articles linked here, but could you at least read the entire summary?

He's not being silenced. He was given the privilege of a special position with the state, and that privilege is being withdrawn because he is not performing his task to the satisfaction of those who granted him said privilege. He is perfectly free to keep denying global warming as a private individual.
And there's about as much room for debate about the existence of global warming as there is for debate about the Earth's orbit around the sun, the germ theory of disease, or the evolution of species.
No scientist has ever been silenced for saying so. Stop believing ridiculous blog propaganda.
I'll grant you, though, that this might just be because so few scientists would want to say something this, seeing as how it's so demonstratably wrong and it would do great harm to their reputation for them to spout idiotic nonsense.
Your simile doesn't make any sense, but let's for a second assume it does. If the USPS was used mainly by child porn traffickers, do you really think anybody would mind it being shut down? Because it's pretty obvious the majority of Tor users are using it for child porn.
camcorder owners are only interested in filming screeners
So using this analogy, the guy bought a camcorder, didn't put in a battery, snuck it into a movie theatre, held it up like he was filming it, and then makes a big deal out of it when he gets thrown out, even though he wasn't really filming it.
Isn't this the equivalent of saying that someone cannot discuss the merits and flaws of Windows Vista because they are not developing an operating system of their own?
Yeah, I thought that was the standard reply one gets when one criticizes an open-source project?
This is nothing but GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE in the FREE MARKET! If the governement would just stay away, everything would work out for the BEST for the CUSTOMER!

"Why Do Games Sell", genius.
Good job pointing out that you can not even understand a four-letter sentence.

Like their spot-on predictions for the success of the iPod?

Thanks for the non-sequitor.
Yes, obviously intellectual exercise is always dull and boring. Who the hell wants to THINK when you could WATCH TV?

But at least with a free market most people have the choice of freedom.
Please justify this claim, without assuming that you are rich to start with.

We don't all live in crazy backwards land, you know.
Sorry, I don't live in the mobile backwaters, and I've bought every phone I have from the manufacturer and used all its features freely.
I can't help but notice that the people working on this "too ambitious" project are actually out there doing it, while you are... posting on Slashdot?
I wonder if the author's used chmod, chown, etc.?
Obviously not. You are so much smarter than them.
I don't know of a single company that both manufactures phones, and sells connectivity. Your point makes no sense.

It's a low blow because it THREATENS their PENIS, duh.
