This is just another instance of Hollyweird going berserk. This is in NO WAY harming the movie studios or consumers. Actually, its HELPING the movie studios because copies of a movie are being purchased that otherwise wouldnt be. This is just another area where the studios are close minded and show their lack of a good education. I mean you have a state like Utah, full of mormons. They see a movie like Spiderman, but dissaprove of a few scenes in the movie. 2500 of them want to buy it but wont because of that. So scrubbing company XYZ goes out and buys 2500 copies of the movie, cuts out the "bad" parts and the mormons pay a small fee for it. No loss to the studios they got the same amount of money they would have if any one of us bought the movie. NOW, they will LOOSE those 2500 copies because they WONT be bought and of course will probably blame that 2500 on pirates, arrrggghhhhh! Simple math, I guess they just dont see the real $$ picture here. Hollywood can kiss my red blooded herterosexual southern breed white REAR END! Im confused, I thought the studios were all about money, guess not...they are just STUPID! ON a POSITIVE note, I guess now I can see naked chicks on ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox because it is illegal to edit movies....COOL!
What do you NOT see here. Just yet ANOTHER flippin MS process running for NO REASON REALLY waisting my CPU cycles and memory....so it can just sit pretty in the task bar tray...DOIN NUTHIN...as an owner of WindowsXP Home and Pro...once I put the key in...I shouldnt get flippin HASSLED by MS about registration..should be a one time deal. NOW what happens when Norton wants to do the same thing..how about every flippin piece of software on your system...Your gonna have to get a few more gigs of memory to keep up with just the software checks. I could see MS requiring a check for a legal copy upon EVERY update you initiate, but to have a piece of lameware running in my system tray for NO reason just to spy on me is ridiculous. If they do this..Ill HAPPILY await a hacked version of Vista WITHOUT it and just wont buy the stupid thing! No matter WHAT MS does, someone IS gonna figure out how to hack their system because there is ALWAYS someone out there smarter than their programmers are...ALWAYS...dont punish me for something I am not doing..
What would be FUNNY AS HELL would be MS to shove this down everyones throat....some smart hacker comes along and gets into their system...and then send a remote shutdown of EVERY XP computer in use across the world...MS would then get THEIR butts bent over the copier!
