AACS cracked again (re: locked thread in CPU formz)

The above is the original post by FishBoi taken from the now-locked thread http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/AACS-cracked-week-supposed-ftopict237479.html. My hope is that this thread was locked just because it was in the wrong section.

In the same vein as this conversation, I would like to hear opinions about the following articles:

New Copyright Alliance Hopes to Strengthen Copyright Law

A DRM Dissertation (why DRM is bad for business, etc.

I agree with the author of the second article. Copyright is fundamentally about fostering creativity, etc. It seems unnatural to me that new technologies are being fought against while they really ought to be embraced and exploited for new business models. I especially liked the historical examples referenced in the text.

I'm not following. Are you joking, or is there some reason for a report?

Reported.

Feel free to turn to one side, cough, and enjoy some stimulation a la Wingding.

Wow, I think we just discovered what the RIAA employees do over their lunch hours....surf the Other forum at Tom's.

I also found the following article interesting. It is taken from the same same debiantutorials site, but is written by a recording artist herself. She makes some good points that leave me wondering how the Labels, Studios and RIAA, etc fail to see the huge boost to the industry that the various new forms of technology have provided over the decades. I suppose their problem with it is that it means more money goes to the artists (rather than $0.02 as negotiated back in the time of player pianos) rather than in their own pockets.

Its time to wake up to the evolution of the marketplace. If industries had been as dogged about ignoring the changes desires of their customer base from the beginning of recorded history we would be bartering thousands of head of cattle to the local lender in order to buy our houses.

Deported.

Did you know that East German Leper Monkeys enjoy scratching themselves
for uncomfortably long times while pissing on Christmas tree displays at
Walmart while swearing at children, in the nude?

Was it everything you'd hoped for?

Retarded.

Reskilleted. [/Groveling_Wyrm]

Aren't monkeys always nude?

Reprted ad infinitum.

Corrected.

Is it Wankel-powered?

Corrected.

Thanks.

Resplendent.
