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. | |

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of embracing opportunity, they want restrictions to be automated so they can stay secure in their business model that is obsolete and continuing to fail to do it's purpose.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. | |

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". | |
|
| | | |
Re: And I would buy AV software that did that because?Exactly the point! the RIAA has forgotten that they are there for the artists, NOT to make themselves rich so they can take in multi-million dollar salaries, sue innocent people, all the while basically hating artists who for some strange reason, want to get paid for their work. | |
|
| | | | |
Re: And I would buy AV software that did that because?No the RIAA is basically lawyers and yes they are there for the money only, that what lawyers are always for, I know a few. Forget all that artist stuff, that fantasy stuff. | |

Re: And I would buy AV software that did that because?Hahhha. ISPs can force you to install » techbase.asu.edu/wiki/in ··· ess_FAQsUniversities and major corporations already use it. If you don't have an AV program that they authorize, you can't connect. Whether is can be hacked IDK. Also I can't see how this would work on Linux, so only OSX and Windows can use these internet connections. | |

Re: And I would buy AV software that did that because?I have no less than 4 HSI providers available to me, 2 are small WISPs who would love to steal that business from Time Warner or Verizon.
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. | |

av softwareIn that case you could try running as os that is less virus likely like mac osx or linux. Thats great, they are effectively pushing people to get rid of their antivirus. I would think an antivirus would pick up what they are doing as viral and malware. | |

Re: av softwareDon't kid yourself. Let's say that you are correct and 80% of the market is now OS X and/or Linux and/or the need for AV and similar product is eliminated. The RIAA would then be after Apple and other hardware makers to force them to include a "P chip" (for 'pirate') which works at the network hardware layer independent of the OS. This is not a new idea, by the way. We've essentially got that with HDTVs now. | |

Re: av softwareHDTV 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. | |

Re: av softwareI realize that and used HDMI as an example of how the content providers have already managed to cripple a very nice piece of hardware. I agree with you 100%. | |

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. | |

that is because Linux wasnt designed with everyman users, Windows was. however windows does not need to be as open as it is, you can make something easy to use and not so open. why do MMORPGs have to be run under admin? why not set something up so they can patch only their folder(and sub folders with in) while you are still logged in as a user and also not need the game exe itself to run as admin but also in user space. | |

I have no answers...either, to the problem of piracy...
This can't be the right way to look at, or even think about to yourself privately, to fix the problem..
Didn't they already put hidden rootkits on cds, so when you tried to use them on your pc....
Anyway, yeah, this is a bad idea, and it's scary to think people actually come up with them, and think its a good idea. | |

Anyway, this fool needs to be publicly ridiculed for
such an idiotic statement. Once again it shows that
all they are interested in is control. They could care
less about consumers (or their artists, given the recent
push to reduce royalties to them from online sales from
sites like iTunes.) | |

WAIT I have a better idea!How about we just outlaw tinfoil hats and develop a mind reading device that allows the *AA organizations to find anyone who ever considered utilizing an un-paid-for piece of media and then simply put them into indentured servitude to the *AA organizations! Imagine the evil that we would have removed from our streets! | |

Great Firewall of Chi.....AmericaWhy not go ahead and tell us what we should have access to and not have access to, I PAY for TOTAL access to the Internet, I don't want someone telling me what I can and can not see online, and the moment they start policing the internet, ISP's and my Hardware in my home, I will LEAVE the Technology Industry behind or go back to the old ways, even if i have to receive a packet of disk form pirates (you know the ones that had a ton of programs in it you added some you copied others then sent it on to the next guy).
I have a dream, a dream where if I pay for my internet connection I should not be punished by something saying FREE DOWNLOAD, I can also see the rise of a second world network (2 Internets?) one where the RIAA and the MPAA are god and DRM is a common place, The other, based on freedom, freedom to download, freedom to share with your close 2,000,000 friends, one where you don't have to worry about caps.
The community may one day be so fed up that they eventually create there own Internet.
Then the MPAA and the RIAA will wine and scream that they Have the right to police that one, or try to make it illegal to use such a network....
Oh and by the way I'm on my laptop and I do not have a Anti-virus/Spyware program installed, I use FireFox, and know when to stay away form crud that will get on my system.
Sorry I went off on a rant.
But when I went to school, (Graduated 2 years ago) I didn't know a single person that owned a CD but they all owned MP3 players. You do the math where did all those kids there there music? | |
