  Re:

  I think you could just turn your lights off (you know, like in REAL(!) movie theatres) which may stop the kinect from picking up how many people are in the room.
  
  ..of course, watching TV with the lights off may then turn into DRM circumvention and get you arrested..

  Maybe it is..Maybe it isn't...
  
  What it definitely IS home to is a couple of annoying industry shills who have little to no reading comprehension and can't image anything outside the fucked up, out of touch, greedy cunt faced corporate box they live in.

  Re: Re: Re: Poor gatekeepers

  I have read every comment in this thread hoping AC would actually give us a link to his creations. For some reason there is a insy little bit of me that hopes he is a real musician, albeit obviously a rather deluded one. I actually feel a bit sad that he didnt. Weird.

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  OMG Mike! I knew it! My clever arse has finally managed to get you to admit it!!!!
  
  My issue with the strategy you discuss is that it's *anti-consumer* and does *NOTHING* to actually get people to pay the copyright holders. It's a complete waste of time. I don't talk about them because I "SUPPORT PIRACY" but because I support not wasting your time on stupid ideas that make it harder for you to actually make money.
  
  A direct quote from Pirate Mike himself that proves my inane rantings were right all along!
