All these don't support the changed source are going to keep the age of software warranties further away. If people start offering support for others work look at what could happen:
Code reuse - cheaper to change something that works and is known
Reverse engineering properly regarded as a desirable and necessary field of study
Software ownership - if it's easy to support than it should be easy to hire contractors to fix problems which means people will demand to be able to choose who fixes their software which is very close to what you get when you own a car
All this and more for $19.95 (I would love to work with a group to create this but I am somewhat sceptical hence the as seen on tv reference)
International air space. If we had faster planes we could get better privacy because you could scan from further away because it would take less time for air forces to respond.
What you should do is find some independent musicians (not signed with any RIAA member) and get them to go down there and demand to be heard -- make it quite clear that one effect of the RIAA's demands is to make distribution of _competing_ music more difficult, and the court should not allow itself to become a instrument of monopoly...
Releasing a document that describes cyptography does NOT expose the work in any way.
The cryptography was broken without any initial monetary input, nor was it broken with internal documentation.
It is quite easy to design a protection system that fully documented is unbreakable. The fact is the techniques described in the paper were developed 50 years ago. Most likely the RIAA got ripped off by their own staff.
All the RIAA has is an implementation not even an invention. The problem at hand is the invention in itself practically.
On another note, why aren't we using puzzle based schemes like Ralph Merkle's instead of this ages old pissing contest of big numbers and weird theories?
The book has gone from a 372,000 give or take 100 sales rating to 61,840 since December 2000. No. 2 bestseller right behind Jessica Litman's Digital Copyright.
If you need a discussion about the topic, openlaw.org's dvd-discuss list, slashdot archives in the Your Rights Online topic, and Jessica Litman's book do a pretty good job.
If you want to know how we got here and what's at stake, DMCA includes comments questions and answers as well as a copy of the DMCA, former President Clinton's comments on the DMCA as he signed it, and a history of copyright law.

This is the sort of thing that pisses me off. Not everything that is useful is marketable and I'm sick of people telling me not to waste my building the tools I need because some miracle corporation supposedly probably already made it.
Marketability means demand to customers en masse. That's why corporations make products. The fact is highly critical tools for projects are frequently not money makers because no one works on exactly the same project unless they are in the same company. It maybe a lifesaver but it's no pot of gold.
Maybe I'm weird but my work doesn't depend solely upon killer apps, the bestsellers, those miracles of modern confusion.
My work most of the time depends up little unmarkettable but highly necessary utilities.
Now, I know some of you think there's a contradiction there. God bless your greedy little short-sighted hearts, you idiots are quite amusing. Now go take an economics course.
Ever heard of props? Yes. Good. Ever seen a prop freom one movie appear in another movie completely unrelated to the first? I didn't think so.
If there's a tool I make that I need, I gain quite a bit by licensing it. A license guarantees that I can always find updates to my little tool and improvements and such and in exchange so can others. I have projects to finish. I can't afford to keep chasing tools. If someone improves my tool, I still have one not a billion tools to worry about. As much as I may need features in a tool I refuse to get gouged by some company and their licensed-because-we're-making-a-buck software and their one-size-fits-all feature sets.
When I need a generic tool, I'll gladly pay for it. When I need an odd PROP and one-time use feature that is critical in a project and in only that project I will not be trying to make a buck from it but while I'm working on that project I'd like to avoid having to waste time hunting down alternatives. I save a lot of time and wasted effort by just seeing anyone has added something to my tools.

Guess it's back to joining a leather jacket wearing band making money on street in the corner where the local drug dealer is taking a coffee break.
I love government waste, but when parents get involved it's a party!
Now you might ask why would they not involve their parents?
Did you involve your parents when you went to the mall to play arcade games? (no.)
But in an environment (your home) where your kids are less likely to get mugged by a stranger (family violence doesn't count - no amount of legislation can prevent it but it can be countered) or kidnapped by a stranger they have to have parents involved?
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Throwing paper in the bucket takes time away from getting the bills out of the way. And it's infuriating as well.
Why?
You have to sort shit in order to throw it out. That's called imposing on one's time. People get paid to do that.
I'm sick of getting scratch and win crap. That crap feeds on people's need to hope for... something.
It's insulting. It's time consuming. It makes a mess of all the other paperwork I deal with.
By the way, where do you get the idea that when some doesn't work in a particular field they're incapable of doing anything in that field?
Christ, morons.
People who do it for a living don't have time to try new ideas. What they for a living is take old ideas and fit them to government orders.
