    Other example of good Copyright handling is Black Mesa.

    Black Mesa is a reboot of Half-Life and fan made. Fans created their own company, AFAIK, so they could have the deal. Valve and Gearbox are not associated on the project et. al.

    Anyway, Nintendo has histerically (pun intended) been mishandling this.

    That's why the last console I bought from Nintento was the Wii.

    Re: Re: Encryption Law? Really?..

    Since encryption keys can be generated on the fly and with proper key it can be quick to encrypt/decrypt content. You can even double-chyper it by encrypting the connection and then the messages. Even a man-in-the-middle attack would be pointless.

    Encryption Law? Really?..

    I don't think these legislators know anything about tech except how to post on Facebook and watch kitty videos on 9gag.

    Basically anyone who wants to correspond via internet via encrypted text, voice, or whatever, they can.

    Encryption algorithms are public knowledge, easily implemented, and writting an APP is easy and you don't even need to publish it on a Store.

    You can, literally, in one day write an encrypted chat, with 1024+ bit encryption key, with multi layer encryption, maybe with multiple encryption keys.

    And piéce of resistence, make it P2P based with discovery services in order to not have it stored anywhere.

    How are they going to force whatever legislation on companies then?

    Pass the communications on TOR or use VPN. How are they going to find the users? Are they fining users?

    They don't know the difference between a bit and a byte and want to chip in a conversation they don't understand... But hey, it's politics for you.

    And politics always dabbed in shit they don't understand.
