Re: Amazing

Seems this is the perfect response to all those Hollywood
types that thought BD+ was uncrackable.

When people move with a purpose, it gets done.

Hollywood DRM slapping people around kinda pisses em off.

So they become highly motivated...

... and the end result is inevitable.

Just remember , you still can't play a burned copy of a bluray movie in a stand alone bluray player. That pesky BD mark on the disc to distinguish a burnt copy from a pressed copy is still a nagging fact. However the convert to HD-DVD is a really slick feature ,that in my opinion might be a glimmer of hope for the folks still finishing off the run of HD-DVD players and burners.

Re: New survey finds gaps in U.S. broadband

I like how Tellabs is the one who produced this "news". Coming from a company that provides products to telcos & cablecos, this is your usual self-serving repeat of previous news.

Music Industry is Dying Because It Sucks

The music industry puts out 95% crap compared to the 1970s and 1980s. So, people buy the 1 good song on iTunes (or illegally download it) and NOT the CD. Is that too hard to understand, RIAA? Start producing good material.

Now, the MPAA is going down the same road of stupidity. Selling every TV show now is going to be of dire consequence in a few years. DVDs cost too much as well. I don't see why DVDs can't be priced at $9.99.

Re: Music Industry is Dying Because It Sucks

Ironically , they did this to themselves by not evolving with the times really.

If we start a 3 strikes your out policy on music and file sharing , why the hell can't we do this for spam , and virus issues as well. Oh because that makes the isps money , just like file sharing and the like.

If the music industry gets a cut of all the Music branded cd-r's I would think it would be making a fortune , in Canada they can download all they want because of that "tax" why can't we in the US ?

If they would stop with the manufactured bullshit , they may very well find some real talent. But I digress and realize that remaking old songs is considered talent these days. Carry on. I fear the end is near for the dominance of the American empire , we have old people in government and corporations, and change is drastically hard for those folks to accept.

They're rips but you encode them into x264 which can then easily fit on a dvd9. I'm not entirely sure why x264 is such a good encoding codec.. or why the hell you can encode an hddvd or bluray to fit on a dvd9 and the quality is still good. But ripping bluray to back it up to bluray isn't that popular, ripping bluray and encoding it to x264 is a little more feasible.
