"Our recommendation is for anyone using HD DVD or Blu-ray disc playback to download the update in order to ensure that both their existing titles and newly purchased titles will continue to play," Hughes said. "If someone inserts an HD or Blu-ray disc with the new licensing keys, it will result in HD/BD playback of previous titles being disabled until (users) install the free update."
Current players will work fine until you attempt to play a new HD-DVD with the "corrected" AACS. Then your player will cease to play all HD-DVDs until such time that you update with a hot, steaming pile of DRM horse shit.
WEP use in a heavily populated area plus a "clean" hard disk examined by a forensics expert ought to be enough to tip the scales in favor of the defendant, even in a civil trial. At least I hope, from this non-lawyer point of view.
Your $450 dollar cellphone has the collective design advantages ("shortcuts," from a spacecraft design POV) of not dealing with hard radiation, operating in a very small temperature range, having heat dissipation via air, recharging frequently from earth-bound power sources, being replaceable, being disposable, not needing to survive the massive g-forces associated with a rocket launch, and being mass-produced.
Go build your shitty cell phone camera, from scratch, with the above restrictions, and get back to us on the cost.
without the regionlock override, there really is no legitimacy other than I WANT TO PLAY 'BACKUPS'
A bit off-topic, but with DVD movies, another legit reason for wanting to duplicate/alter the original is just to make those annoying anti-piracy PSAs, lame movie previews and commercials go away. I bought the fucking disk fair and square, why the hell do I have to watch that shit EVERY TIME I PLAY IT?
It can also develop resistance to fire, hard vacuum, complete dessication and even hard radiation.
When you get down to it, the only real way to minimize infection is to keep the immune system strong and not aid in the development of extremeophile bacteria, which are a direct result of paranoid application of antibacterial agents.
It's not so simple and you cannot say definitively that DRM is harming the consumer because RIGHT NOW the only way to get that content is with DRM. Better than nothing, isn't it?
Interesting view. Even though you claim that they recognize the uselessness of DRM, I believe that they still have not fully grasped this concept. If they did, they would see that their "better than nothing" offering is indeed worse than nothing and people are freely taking advantage of the superior product provided by "nothing."
Final message: Until they understand, I buy used CDs or altogether avoid major label releases and actively speak out against them to everyone I know. And I am not alone in this pledge...at all.
Thanks for the link! My company has ordered equipment from places like eracks, but I wasn't impressed. System 76 seems a bit more polished. Does anyone have other recommendations?
Exactly! If I can purchase a laptop from a company knowing it will all just work out of the box in Linux, they will have my business almost immediately.
Does anyone else remember "way back when" in the mid-90s the internet would start to drag around lunch time and again around dinner time? Somehow, I don't think we'll swing back to that point, but the whining in the article sure seems fearful.
"2007 may be the year of the tipping point where growth in capacity cannot cope with use," Tansley said.
But then again, why go through all the hassle, when enough people have uploaded illegal copies of the same tunes, straight from a cd or another online music service?
But then again, it only takes one person to strip the DRM, save in a new format, and redistribute the file for everyone else to obtain it. I could argue that for some people, this is the same amount of hassle (or perhaps less hassle) as going to the store, purchasing the actual CD, going home and ripping it and redistributing it. It's certainly cheaper if you're only interested in a single song. And it only takes one person to remove the DRM for the hassle to be gone for everyone else.
I suppose this discussion is not going to end with cut-and-dried proof either way...and I submit that your suggestion that the iTunes DRM is effective is plausible. I still disagree.:)
Please cite that FairPlay has been not been cracked and illicit copies are NOT ABUNDANT. Otherwise, I assert teh laws of teh internets. (anything that can be copied, will be, and en masse.)
I sure wish that the United States would put 2.5 million people out of work by decreasing enlistment by 90%, too.
I wish that the United States would require all citizens of a certain age to serve for a period of 1-3 years in the military. Perhaps it would increase voter turnout.
Millions of iTunes-purchased songs ARE freely available because someone has cracked them. Every release of DRM included with iTunes (excluding the present release) has been cracked. And then there's the files available because they were burned to CD and then ripped back into files. Only one person needs to do either of these things and then share the file publicly for the DRM on any given track to be useless. And that's exactly what happens.
I think you were trying to say "summed it up." No worries, the meaning got through. Actually, I was "summit up" my own ideas on the topic of DRM, which follow very closely with Mr. Jobs' posting. (yes, I read it. twice.) Like I said in the parent post, I take certain offence to his relating infingement to theft, which are neither legally or morally the same concept.
I concede that Jobs is probably just trying to convince the record companies to drop their bullshit charade and release their catalogs unrestricted in full. Toward that end, this whole essay is a good step. It certainly articulates the correct arguments against DRM.

Yep, probably something localized - especially with a rural ISP.

I imagine many people would simply start tunneling all their traffic to countries without such idiocy.
Can I have both? Please?
And who said I didn't? The topic of discussion was music from the major labels. KEEP UP!
