It appears as if the Pirate bay hasn't broken any laws in Sweden. I feel that this raid was politically motivated and will amount to nothing more than a hefty amount of free publicity. Whats the monetary value of that in todays world? One would think that the operators will be released and the equipment returned once this baseless action has reached completion.
This may also lead to any munber of lawsuits for being falsly detained and/or the unwarranted seizure of property. At best this is a trivial matter that should be resolved soon.
Microsoft tried 180 time bombs and those don't stop people. They tried seriel numbers and activation schemes and work arounds came out quickly.Lets see just how long this holds people back. My bet? not very long at all.
until some enterprising individual(s) make light of this information to help construct a mod chip to bypass the security of the xbox 360.
I feel that microsoft came out with a very arrogant stance of almost " you can't hack this" despite what this chris character is quoted as saying. I've said before if there is money to be made in locking something then there is also money to be made in unlocking something.
At this rate I predict a mod-chip(s) that will permenantly bypass msft xbox360 security by years end.
If there were no movies and no t.v. due to piracy? I would cheer that the world had taken a shift for the better. I on occasion watch movies, however our entertainment options are used to placate us as a people. This way we don't think about our own failings. Nor do we strive to improve ourselves educationally and compete against the wealthy for the better jobs. We stand by as companies institute 401ks and do away with defined benefits plans. As we are sold out to big business and big government. As we're told that we don't need unions. That gold and silver are things we don't want to invest in. That we should buy buy buy but you better not go bankrupt!
If we could get rid of movies and T.V. then perhaps people would think for themselves a little more and be more conserned with quality education. Keeping our jobs here and not outsourced. Concerned about invasion of privacy by the NSA, FBI and whomever else wishes to use the power that they were entrusted with in a corrupt and manipulative manner.
If Piracy could bring down our now traditional big businesses then let piracy reign. I understand that many people would suffer but this would only bring about a greater good. We need to teach big business and big government that the people as a whole still make and break and rewrite the rules for the greater good.
I'm sick and tired of this company and thier products. I would love to see all these self centered corporate types have to throw out thier blackberrys. I mean how many times a day do most of us need to check our email?
I long for the day when I see this stuff in the garbage dump where they all belong.
I just wish NTP had crushed the life out of RIM!
One way or another a we must band together to stand against DRM and TC. I have stated many times that WE are the paying customers. The arguments in support of these two initiatives are baseless. All we need do is look to companies like SONY to see an example of how DRM will continue to have a negative impact on people worldwide. TCM in computers and other devices are bad news. I encourage everyone to do what must be done in order to convince those in authority that these sort of measures be revoked.
I, personally, stand against this.Also there is money and or prestige in defeating these measures as is evinced by groups like the OSX86 project.
There will be software hacks, mod chips whatever countermeasure must be implemented to bypass this heinousness.
Don't just take my word for it. wait and see!
IMO RIM is a vile corporation and a blight on society. We would all be better off without these obtrusive devices cluttering up our lives. I firmly stand behind NTP and favor a shutdown of all service inside the U.S.
Write to your congressmen and let them now how you feel about this despicable undesirable corporate tick.
Does this mean that 3d card makers Nvidia and ATI are left out in the cold?This wouldn't encourage many people to purchase thier products. How many people need HDCP anyway? We really need to start rebelling against DRM. WE are the paying customers. Without paying customers your company goes out of business. It's a fairly linear path. WHY does everyone keep laying down and taking it from these stubborn callous people?
DRM scemes like the above are ill-fated. There will be mod chips and software hacks for all computers coming from the worlds best hackers.All DRM does is infurate the elementary level children for a small amout of time and other legitimate paying consumers.
The RIAA and MPAA have declared WAR on all consumers! War!We did not ASK for this war. So now that we know we are at war what do we do? We retaliate and fight back. Media is produced for the consumer. How do you ask someone to buy your products when you behave in a heinous manner such as this? Let the examples of SONY BMG and BLIZZARD software not be forgotten.Nor the lawsuits brought about by greed and fear. This is yet another clear example of tyranny. Write to your senators,congressman and any other politician you think will listen. Boycott thier products and sign petitions against these villianous houligans.Support the EFF. We must band together and do everything we can to win this WAR!
The first order of business. right my reps and senators AGAIN. I'm not sure how effective that is as I just get canned form letters back in responce.
If this passes? well I know alot of good hackers. I'm tired of stressing unduly over this stuff.I know alot of intelligent free-thinkers that are tired of all of these new levels of oppresion. Go ahead. act like thugs,people like myself will be the ones stranding behind you, working stealthily in the shadows to help end your reign of terror on the american consumer. word to the lame corporations. If it can be created? it can be destroyed and it can and will most definantly be HACKED!
Let's start a revolution. whos with me??
I am very surprised that I myself hadn't thought of this.From now on if I can't reformat a spyware infected pc.With Linux mind you.Then I'm gonna hit it with a sledgehammer till it's good and fixed forever. Goodbye worthless windows spyware infected crappile.
Hello Linux or OSX or BSD or Solaris.
Thats the sound of SCO getting the smackdown.
Let's here it some more.I hope the entire company goes under.So sad when you can't make money from quality product yourself.Hmm company in trouble equals sue everyone in sight.ya thats the ticket!!!!
Microsoft got the idea for the start button from who else?Go think about it isn't go similar to start?Think stop don't go.
Thats exactly what M$ did.They didn't just stop GO they STOMPED Go.Microsoft is just as dirty as any big monopoly or oligopy.Looking to lie,cheat,steal buy senators etcetera to secure its bottom line.Not to mention the power to expand to other hot developing markets.
I'd like to see anyone with a fair claim against any company with practices like microsoft win its case.
Do they believe in the effectiveness of this.....?

So It is now no longer good enough to just have the ability to subpoena your records if your arrested?Now the government wants to activly sort/monitor the emails of an entire nation.
HMM I smell more violations of the rights of the people. How much more of this are we willing to accept. How much longer until dissidents start a revolution. That's right I said it a revolution.
This sounds like a combo of search/packet sniffing software.Last I heard PGP and RSA encryption was still unbreakable. This will NOT be effective for the worst thieves or tererorists.
This has been a long time coming. The supposed concern over piracy and itellectual rights is whats behind it.So consumers are told. Last I checked this was MY computer and any other machine I purchased was MINE. to do with whatever I see fit.
Not to sound like a zealot but this is another reason to turn from Wintel.I spit on your DRM and your Trustworthy computing initiatives. We could learn a few leasons from the French and Chinese on these matters.
I'm a hairsbredth away from completely never needing a windows machine again.Both Apple and Linux are more than viable alternatives in this day and age.
Fear not my fellow countrymen.Good hackers of the world will devise software/Hardware hacks to defeat these nefarious villians.
Ya thats a little dramatic but it's the way I see it. The only things microsoft and perhaps intel products will see in my household is the heavy end of a hammer.
If we as americans don't like this heavy handedness we must write our congressmen,our senators,the president. Put money only behind products that will be good for you. Protest. Don't just moan and groan on boards like this and keep taking it in the @$$.
Only through actions can we enact change.These tyrants do NOT know what is good for the end-user.We tell them.they don't tell us.Without our money they are nothing.they will be nothing.
I've said enough,now I think I know where theres maybe a few xbox in need of some alterations.anyone seen my hammer......?
Don't accept a national ID card.Destroy it.Hack it do something with it outside of it's intended use.I'm sick to death of rules,regulations,unjust laws.The constant errosion of American freedoms.I won't hear another word about we need to do this for greater Security.Yep security.Better stock up on Food precious metals and guns n ammo.
Read ID is just another example of how fast we are moving towards a police state.Republican this,Democrat that.none of it matters.It's all a game. Good cop,bad cop.All a bunch of murderous thugs working for thier wealthy international handlers.
We are trading Democracy for Fasicm and most people don't even know it and wouldn't believe if you tried to tell em.Re-Educate the populous and turn against Real ID and anything else like it.

Actually I think the U.S. is moving towards more of a facist govenment like what was institited in Germancy crica 1930s and '40s.
