silverscarcat: Well, Mike, I'm glad that you had it in the upcoming posts, I called my senators and rep today about it right after I read it. Jay: Wow... Some Guy created a new form of acronym for the DMCA. Automated Rights Trampling System. I think I'll use ARTS from now on. silverscarcat: Well, this is so true. Someone needs to tell their Senators that they're fulfilling what Bin Laden said in 2001. "I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in — and the West in general — into an unbearable hell and a choking life." - Osama Bin Laden, in sole post 9/11 interview dennis deems: http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/05/reporters-use-google-find-breach-get-branded-as-hackers/ Jay: @Dennis It seems that hacker has become the new witch hunt... silverscarcat: BURN THE WITCH! Man, AJ has lost his marbles. Imagine if the law was not only working against DRM but paywalls... bob and AJ would be foaming at the mouth. Rikuo: paywalls? I wonder - since the new Xbox requires anyone getting a used game to pay for access to it (a paywall) what will bob say about it? silverscarcat: I won't be getting one, I know that much. A lot of gamers aren't either. As long as Sony doesn't do the same thing, they'll be the clear favorites for this generation along with the Wii-U Jay: By the Gods is the Xbox One a horrendous DRM machine... Rikuo: neither will I. Swapping games between friends is a time-honoured practice, and Microsoft just spit all over that. I won't be getting a PS4, it doesn't do anything a PC doesn't, and there is literally nothing on the Wii U that I want to play (so far) silverscarcat: Well, we'll see, Sony might be a jackass of a company, but they tend to put out good games. Jay: Ok... So that's what the Xbox is about... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWgUO-Rqcw They're marketing to Hollywood and sports... They lost the public, gained the ESPN and Fox crowd silverscarcat: Heh, well, they'll sell a lot of consoles with those two markets, but they won't sell games.
