|  EFFs position: Thieves will win so give up
Looks like the EFF's position on this and similar products is that the thieves(or sharers in EFFspeak) will eventually find a way around the product, so they shouldn't be used at all. Of course, they don't have any solution to how the copyright holders get paid for their work, but they have little interest in that.

1 edit | Oddly, the EFF post doesn't say that at all.
When I read it, it sounds more like an exposure of marketing hype which can't possibly be true than any commentary on file trading. Their illustration of how easy it is go get around "Clouseau" just shows how silly the product is, and how outrageous Safemedia's marketing claims are.
As for getting copyright holders paid, at least the EFF mentions it. Safemedia is only interested in getting themselves paid, and from public funds at that. The specs on this product indicate no interest in anything else.

Apparently to a point where lying is acceptable?
I believe TCH mischaracterizes the EFF's position. Their real position is to outlaw puppies. |

Actually, more along the lines of misrepresenting their product in order to get paid. THAT is what's wrong.

The nerve of them! Selling a product to get paid. What is this world coming to? Being a business owner and landlord, I am certainly not against anyone getting paid. What I am against is fly-by-night shysters kiting irrational and flat-out false product claims in an effort to get paid.
There's a difference even if you don't see one. Nice try.
