4 edits | And I would buy AV software that did that because? What? 50% margins for media companies aren't enough?
People stealing movies, music and software know they're doing it but simply don't care. It's hard to have sympathy for media companies like NBC/Universal who cry poverty and refuse to pay writers an extra 4 cents a DVD while telling investors they're seeing record performance.
I obey their EULAs and pay for my music and movies (usually through iTunes or Amazon) and still say F the RIAA and MPAA. They continue to push the issue making it harder for me to follow their rules. Eventually it will come to a point that I don't give a crap for their rules just like they don't give a crap about their artists and writers as it will be easier to pirate than purchase through proper channels. | |

1 edit | So they get their filthy paws on my hardware and OS with DRM and HDCP, now they expect to be able to infest every piece of hardware and software with it?
Instead of embracing opportunity, they want restrictions to be automated so they can stay secure in their business model that is obsolete and continuing to fail to do it's purpose.
Which should be to get as much media to as many people as they can. They are sitting on decades of entertainment that is just collecting dust in some archive.
Lower the prices, make the formats easier for people to play with enhanced capability's.
I don't want their crap spyware trojan on my machine so they can make more money by blackmailing society by withholding content.
I wonder how many years they have set the United States back by where we could be enjoying what other people have created without restrictions and draconian rules. 
If they want us to buy their content, they had better start cooperating with people, instead of continuing to try and impose their mercenary tactics on our society.
The wolves are guarding the chicken coop.
I keep thinking about AOL as I write this, they refused to embrace reality, and are no longer relevant.

1 edit | These are the same slimy weasels that are currently lobbying for lower royalty payments to artists. Evidently the notorious take-it-or-don't-get-published contracts aren't ripping off artists enough to satisfy the greed-crazed control freaks of Hollywood. Of course the RIAA companies go on exploiting the nickel per CD that they still pay to the lucky artists who come out in the black, as an excuse to whine that infringement is "hurting artists". | |

Verizon already has a history of saying no to the RIAA (when it came to turning over names anyway). While I wouldn't put it past Time Warner who is in the entertainment biz, I don't see what would be in it for Verizon.
Unless the RIAA/MPAA gave Verizon millions, there is no reason for Verizon to comply. They don't need to conserve bandwidth. | |

1 edit | Re: av software HDTV is only for display of mostly entertainment. The implications are much worse in the case of computers.
If there's something in your computer that obeys a remote corporation instead of the computer owner, and can stop copyright infringement, then it can also filter out anything the party that controls it doesn't want you to see, filter out anything the party that controls it doesn't want you to transmit to others, and monitor anything you do and report it to anyone, anywhere, all the time. You'd have nothing left but carefully filtered propaganda and pervasive spyware. It would abolish the possibility of free speech, privacy or security for any user of that device.
So if that's what it takes to prevent copyright infringement, then what this proves is not that we have to abolish freedom of communication, but instead that we have to tolerate some copyright infringement as the price of preserving freedom. | |

Linux platforms suffer vastly fewer viruses and other end-user problems because they are simply designed with security in mind. All that crap you see on Windows systems just doesn't happen on Linux systems. Linux users, BY DEFAULT, cannot kill their system without logging in as root. You would know this if you actually tried a Linux distribution before spewing nonsense. | |

Does that mean that the MSM will suddenly stop burying education in it's news reports and start delivering actual news?
The tone, tenor, what's included or cut from the report, the reports before and after, even the color of the talking mannequin's tie are contrived to make the viewer sad about the environment or the billion homeless and hungry in the USA, angry at the greedy Republicans and corporations for causing it all and why the consumer needs to panic over some new quasi-scientific discovery.
My post never asked for education. I asked for coverage. And if they happen to give a teaspoon's worth of coverage, I want the balanced story, not the BigMedia spun version.
It's ironic that you shone your light on me, the single side that wants a full set of facts from my news report and not the other side who decides on how to educate the masses.
