Sorry I hate DRM. Mostly I hate the illegal and harrasing tactics used my MIAA and RIAA to supposedly catch people who download movies and music. No private company should have any authority over what I do on my computer and no business telling my ISP to watch what I do on my computer. Did they think their lame ass code would be uncrackable forever? Time to move on to the next technology hindering DRM video interface, only to be cracked in another 5 years. Also remember those ads telling you that only criminals download pirated movies and music, are usually from unions. These same people think 1980 technology (CDs) are still worth 20 dollars a pop, and blue ray movies 30-50. No thanks. There is a reason most musicians are going to the internet to get there songs out rather than a label. |

What you're saying is true. Theft is theft. But he also has a good point... the MPAA and RIAA have powers that are pretty unprecedented for private corporations. And it sets the path for yet more intrusion into the lives of everyone - not only by government, but by any corporation (not government or LEO) who makes the claim that someone, somewhere is making them lose revenue. Don't forget that one RIAA shill, Senator Hatch, has expressed a desire to be able to remotely destroy someone's computer if they are suspected of pirating music. No trial, no due process, just *poof*. If having a private company destroy private property doesn't alarm you, then you may as well move to California and sign up as a registered Democrat right now. |

I use them as a demo since I mostly play online I need a key and all that. Demos should be SOP but they like to release buggy shit so they don't deserve my money anyways MMO's are still a sore point no way to try before you buy and I've been burned too many times. The comapanys sell you hype and there is no take backs. Movies and such is a wash for me I would rather go to redbox and save myself the time and HDD space. yeah I know its wrong and all that but really if the companies reduced their price they would sell a lot more, same with the movies if it was 4-5 bucks to watch a movie no one would download a bootleg. the MPAA and RIAA are an archaic entity and need to go away. |

How about not buying the movies if you think they are crap. You obviously don't since you aren't willing to pay a fair price for them.
And there are free movies out there, short films, web casts that are free. Oh but you like things like Avatar and Heat and network television. You want Avatar level entertainment but want to pay off-off broadway prices. What more is there? Do you not understand that those things cost money to produce? Obviously you do like big budget hollywood material or you wouldn't be proud of stealing it. |

The really stupid thing is that only the people who BOUGHT the disc see the damn ad! Yeah, I always LOL when I see that ad. Pirated movies don't have anything but the movie, not that I'd know. |

I find it curious that the "anti-piracy" laws were changed to include duplication without resale or profit. IOW if I made a copy for my own use that didn't have the 90 seconds of FBI WARNING or the trailers for upcoming movies I'm just as guilty in a technical sense as a guy who buys a duplicator and churns out hundreds of copies for resale at flea markets and stop-n-robs.
Yeah, thanks RIAA.

Movies and such is a wash for me I would rather go to redbox and save myself the time and HDD space. yeah I know its wrong and all that but really if the companies reduced their price they would sell a lot more, same with the movies if it was 4-5 bucks to watch a movie no one would download a bootleg. the MPAA and RIAA are an archaic entity and need to go away. Someone pirated your punctuation. ETA: Seriously. What causes you to use a period when you type? Is it a period of time that goes by, or do you perceive the collection of words that came before the period to be one proper sentence? i typed a little bit then i added more to it. plus me hate english and i just don.t really care. |

Did they think their lame ass code would be uncrackable forever? Time to move on to the next technology hindering DRM video interface, only to be cracked in another 5 years. Also remember those ads telling you that only criminals download pirated movies and music, are usually from unions. These same people think 1980 technology (CDs) are still worth 20 dollars a pop, and blue ray movies 30-50. No thanks. There is a reason most musicians are going to the internet to get there songs out rather than a label. Yeah, fuck those people that expect to get paid for their work. Don't blame piracy, you ever heard modern music or seen a modern movie? 99% of them blow monkey balls. So they suck. Doesn't mean they shouldn't get paid for their work. Theft is theft. And murder is murder, but copyright infringement is neither murder nor theft. It's also not criminal, but civil. Spare me the bluster. So downloading software, movies or music is copyright infringement? Seems to me you are getting a copy of something you didn't pay for. Unless it is freeware or in the public domain, it is theft.

Copyright infringement is far more of a gray area as there are several honest reasons for engaging in piracy, but no matter which side of the line you want to put it, by definition, I'm not stealing shit. |

lets not forget that gaming companies are trying to kill the used game market now...
they feel left out they arent getting their cut on the sale OF USED goods (ALREADY PAID FOR, AND BEING RESOLD) that many game companies are making their games have activation codes when used on multiple systems at a cost (IE: some games currently i believe are being tested at 15-20$ range) thats the cost someone buying a USED game will have to pay to ACTIVATE that copy that was already PURCHASED AND PAID FOR 
thus making it NOT WORTH IT to buy used games. |

The thing is , artists don't care either way , they just want paid. Even worse is the fact that labels take up something like 95% of the money from the sale of the CD , artists get almost nothing. A while back , there was a case where one major label was getting in hot water because a Russian DRM-Free mp3 seller sent 'royalty' checks directly to the artist for mp3 sales, bypassing the label. In the end, the russian company's checks to the artist were more than they were getting from their domestic label! Even though the US label was charging more than a buck a song , or $15/cd , and the Russians were selling the music for 5 cents a song. |

I understand why they want to do DRM, but it fucks the consumer (ME), so fuck 'em. I was going to buy Silent Hunter V recently, but it said on the box that YOU MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE INTERNET CONNECTION TO PLAY. Fuck you guys, I have a game like that, it's called World of Warcraft. I want a game I can still play when the 'net goes out. So now, Ubisoft has lost my money because of their DRM. Suck on that! |

I find it curious that the "anti-piracy" laws were changed to include duplication without resale or profit. IOW if I made a copy for my own use that didn't have the 90 seconds of FBI WARNING or the trailers for upcoming movies I'm just as guilty in a technical sense as a guy who buys a duplicator and churns out hundreds of copies for resale at flea markets and stop-n-robs. Yeah, thanks RIAA. I think you have it in a nutshell. Pirating is clearly theft, and illegal. But DRM often makes putative criminals of many who are just using what they paid for. Listening to an MP3 version of the CD you bought shouldn't be a crime IMHO. I paid for the damn music; putting it in a different format that works better for my setup isn't stealing a damn thing. But it is according to the RIAA... Issues such as this are why we need to push for a more in-touch (younger? at least more aware...) Supreme Court. Old fogies, they are. rendering old-fogie decisions...

<MEGA snip> Is it theft to record a song from the radio onto a cassette tape? Is it theft to record a movie from HBO onto a VCR tape? So how did we get from there to the RIAA? Shocktrp has a legit point. Copying an over-the-air broadcast onto a videotape for personal use is fair use. This is settled case law. How in blue blazes is that different from copying a CD to an MP3 so one can listen on an audio player? That kind of control/charging for ordinary use is what (IMHO) gets folks fired up. DRM that limits truly illegal uses is pretty clear-cut. DRM that makes me pay extra for heariing the same song in an MP3 format when I have paid to hear it already in CDA format is BS. How the fuck that is different from capturing an analog audio track is something that I just don't get... |

Software, music, and video copyright agreements are so one sided and they have you over a barrel. Now you don't own it when you purchase it, you are just paying to use it. I won't buy any games that require you to play online. The software. music. video, downloading things have gotten way out of hand. ETA: What's the deal with Intel? (Op in the title) |
