Preventing DVD Playback on Linux Like Prohibition in the 1920's

(1/2) > >>

dmcfarland:
I found this article on slashdot.http://slashdot.org/articles/05/12/01/1952201.shtml?tid=126

The article compares the entertaiment industries efforts to prohibit people from playing back dvd's on Linux to prohibition. The f'ing retards think they can prevent that from happening.

noob:
they cant' stop it. there will be underground projects to play dvd's on linux. xp was said by M$ to be un pirateable. go to any p2p network and find cracks for xp. it's microsoft,. they don;t want people to use linux, definatly not in homes. if they can create some shite about linux being a threat to anti piracy protection, the shit heads that do all this protection crap will listen to them and do what M$ tell them to.

H_TeXMeX_H:
... come on, any encryption can be cracked, it just takes time ... their attempts to make an un-piratable OS (Vista) or DVD (DMR) are futile. Why don't they just give up ? They'd save a lot of money by not having to invest in developing this shit :D

dmcfarland:
These punitive measures end up making people pirates and criminals. I dont see the problem if someone wants to share a music cd, computer program, or anything else as long as they are not trying to make money off it.

They should focus their attention on Asia if they want to crack down on piracy. Its just shows how greedy those bastards are.

Jack2000:
yes free [anything] for every one!
long live piracy (altho this name is not correct)
