w00t, wireless over the entire nation? Tropical paradise? Beaches? This sounds like my plan get rich, buy an island and do this, but without the working or buying or doing! Perfect!
Ahahahah, what an asshat. I run FreeBSD myself, and find it solid as a rock with fully hardware support. But then, I run it on sort of old hardware, so most everything *should* be supported. Funny that he should be so sure what is better before trying the alternatives, though...:)
That's all well and good, but the same encrypted movie file is distributed to all. Even if the decryption keys are different, once decrypted, the movie file will be untraceable (or a skilled cracker could reverse-engineer the decrypting program and modify it to leave no fingerprints). There is no way to keep it completely secure unless it's all done via proprietary hardware with self-destruct devices attached, which isn't going to happen.
Sure, go right ahead and do that. Now you've distributed the same file to a couple thousand theatres. They have to have the same key, as bittorrent distributes one file to lots of people. Now, what exactly is keeping a person with access to the key (there are thousands of these people) from decrypting the movie and then letting it out?
Nothing for itself - it's not land (last I heard, there isn't a.po extension for the Pacific Ocean). I *would* like to know the IP range they're serving up there though... maybe they DO have a webserver.
The point of the question was bittorrent - if it was being distributed via bittorrent, someone with the key could decrypt the.torrent file and then publish the.torrent, not the encryption key.
yuck. The site doesn't even say what it really is. Unless you can tell me on your own homepage wtf your product is/does, I'm not buying. Thanks anyways...
when the movie ends up online before it's out in theatres. What gets me is that bitorrent does not encrypt traffic (AFAIK, correct me if I'm wrong) and someone at the ISP of *any* of the theatres could just sniff for HTTP requests that end in.torrent and download an extremely high definition file of the movie for free. Just tossing that out there...

Just watched it, it was great. Quite a different angle on the empire than we're used to seeing.

No, china just blocks google period because they cache things.
It is internet only, so email needs to be via a web-based provider. I think you mean web only.
Amen. Why the hell are they transferring 3.9 MILLION customer's highly sensitive data unencrypted? Somebody is either on crack or stupid.
Oh well... I really wanted to see the pics.
Yeah, what the hell? Just let me click "next" next time, Forbes.
Just watched them... and they are not even remotely funny. 404 File Not Funny is right...
Could you get around it like that...?
My point is, they won't just be downloading it on bittorrent. It would require other things.

Sorry if I was unclear. I meant that they would be leaked by people with access, not by network security problems.

The same decryption keys getting sent to thousands of recipients without any leaking? I don't think so...
