NerfYoda Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 The RIAA/MPAA have been trying for quite sometime now to implement DRM into nearly everything we own. We all just need to be aware of the issues, express our feelings & reasonings calmly with da man & not support the politicians who try to put this constricting technology into our lives.

Mercen4ry Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 This has a remarkable similarity to the "Ministry of Truth" in George Orwell's "1984" where the government continually faked information, both new and old, the entire country over to make themsleves appear "correct" all the time. Big Brother Microsoft is watching you! But seriously, that is genuinely scary, and even if it proves to be a rumor or fabrication, the simple fact that someone thought it up holds me in awe. That said, I will now be stocking up on all the "free software" that I can find. Then, should Microsoft manage such a marvelous slaughter of the freedom of the internet, I'll be prepared. Merc out.

NerfYoda Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Originally posted by stormtroop huh? what you going on about the world will all end Its not that drastic, but this is big business trying to control the measly pesants' lives. Most of this DRM stuff is getting fought back pretty well. Everything from the hulabaloo Holywood raised when the VCR 1st came out to the recent overrule* of the CDBPTA**. * Overrule is the wrong word, but its 4:30 and I'm darn sleepy. ** I forget the actual acronym. See above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 There's allways somebody who finds a way around of it. For every attemp there is to control something on the internet, a group find a way around and etc. For example, DVDs were supposed to be "uncrackle". oops, guess that young kid who did crack it wasn't aware that he's not allowed to. So if Mircosoft doesn't get pined with an other monopoly law suit, then people themself will find a way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Spirit Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Well, it was a bit too long for me and the details were somewhat confusing! Im not really sure how bad these things are....perhaps the difficult words make it sound for evil than it really is? TheJackal is probably right, i would be surprised if n oone found out a way to get around it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyth'emos Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I could care less, I will just play single player games exclusivly (spelling?) and not even have a connection to the internet that way I can disable the damn thing and do whatever I want, and I can also download a file of any kind, burn it to a CD then use it on my other system that they can't trace in any way unless they are standing in my home. Well, it was a bit too long for me and the details were somewhat confusing! Im not really sure how bad these things are....perhaps the difficult words make it sound for evil than it really is? TheJackal is probably right, i would be surprised if n oone found out a way to get around it! OK, no your way off. If they suceed in doing this it would literaly kill freeware and sharware programs, and it would kill the internet, the only prgrams you would be able to run as long as you had an internet connection would have to be MS aproved. Which means that in order to afford thatr everything would cost money. However Jackel is right someone will find a way around it, but it will be very hard with a constent connection (anything other than dial-up) in my opinion.

Darth Knight Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 i am sure if microsoft implemented that they would get slapped with a lawsuit for invasion of privacy the part where they can see what programs you have is a form of spyware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
