it's actually a fight for consumers who wish to do whatever they want with the media they buy.

It can be either for legal purposes (making back-ups of original source in the event of wear+tear, or putting it on a hard disk connected to a network, enabling you to watch your movie anywhere with the internet), or of course illegally by copying and sharing on the internet, for (or not) profit. Either way, it pisses off the angel consumer


this also goes for the DRM in online music services such as iTunes. my POS mp3 player didn't support .AAC(p), or .mp4(p), so i had to extract using a key to get it to free mp3 and now BT follows me whereever i go and i am

Everything gets cracked. I'm surprised it took so long really.

IIRC, there was a crack widely availible the day after Microsoft did those verification tests to foil the tests.

hah

it's no surprise it's everywhere now, whenever you try to ban a piece of information with the law it inevitably becomes more widespread.

double
no, not at all.
Nobody's trying to sabatoge HD-DVD (in preference to blu-ray or standard DVD). It's just a fight for consumer freedom and against DRM
