1. Comment - Rootkit Revealer Absorbed by Microsoft

   (Nov 12, 2006 - 2:12 PM)

   I agree PCtool I had a few DRMed CDs not play in a car CD player I think I had only two that had an anticopy scheme actually play in any portable player.
   Also I agree it's stupid to waste government resources to track down P2P users when there are real criminals who must be taken off the streets.
   Heck the FBI and CIA cannot afford to waste time helping the RIAA and MPAA fleece the people they have a serious problem fighting terror real crime as it is.
   I say no the DRM and no means no as my computer is my property not hollywood's and I'll treat any incursion the same as if my house were broken into by a burglar.

   I now refuse to ever put an original sony cd into a windows PC instead it gets copied on the mac or under linux first which is something I've had to do for sometime because the CDs with copy protection do not play in every other CD player.
   Also to be safe I have auto start disabled and recommend this action to all windows users it'll save you lots of trouble down the road.
   If you ask me it annoying I have to turn tricks just to use something I paid for it's crap like this that makes honest people into pirates.
   Ever here of the saying if you treat your customers like criminals they will become criminals.
   Also everyone one I know hates DRM,SPP,and WGA except those who profit or think they profit from it.
   MS's lousy licensing lately has eroded their customer base with Mac and linux gaining at their loss.
   I seen instances where WGA has marked a legit CD key a fake.
   None of this technology is magic it does fail it's only as good as those who field it so it's not really all that great.
   Also on how great microsoft is and how honest they are I suggest you google about a little OS called Btron and the vile thing M$ did to try and kill it and hook asia on their software much of which they may have pirated themselves in an effort to make it a standard there.

   What sony did was far out of line and they deserve every bit of bad press they got.
   Technically I consider it a crime as software of very questionable safety was installed onto people computers.
   Also it did record user activity with out their knowledge last I checked this is illegal and is even a fairly serious crime in some jurisdictions I think the sony case should have been made a criminal case because it was a criminal case as each offense was a computer intrusion and in some states like Georgia is a crime known as computer trespassing punishable by up to 5 years for each offense.
   The executive responsible for the decision to push the root kits really should face prison time.
   As for dodgy yes it was very dodgy so much so microsoft it's self considered it a piece of malware because it was malware it left compramised windows machines wide open to attacks and made the OS very unstable.

   The riaa is nothing more then a mafia for media they truly are without any decency this is rampant
   greed the damages if any should be no more then 50 to 70 cents a song.
   They obviously pull their damages numbers out of their rear ends.
   Personally it about time their greed is questioned.
   Hopefully with a change in congress these idiots will have less power.
   Also such cases of piracy should be civil law not criminal why should stealing an mp3 have a worse punishment then stealing a cd from a store if anything it should have far less punishment as less people are harmed and there is zero danger of violence related to the so called crime.
