  Re: Re:

  Ok how about this?
  1. I buy a DVD.
  2. I take the DRM off.
  3. take a picture of the data inside the DVD so I'm not really stealing any data from the DVD, the data is still safe inside the DVD unmolested.
  4. Put DRM back on the DVD, just like nothing ever happened.
  5. Now I have a DVD and a copy of the data inside without circumventing DRM.
  
  :D

  Re: Is this really a story?

  because it affects us directly, and just because something wrong happens on a regular bases doesn't mean it doesn't happen if we ignore it.

  Re: Re: Re:

  megaupload is not the only internet locker, and not every internet locker is the same as megaupload. Also, no one really knows how much of Megauploads servers was "infringing" because no one's paying the servers to keep the data anymore, and last I checked besides people desperately trying to retrieve lost data, no one is really checking what all IS in them. All this "the majority of Megaupload is illegal" talk is all based on assumptions.

  Re: Re: Funny-- I see the pirates as get-off-my-lawn kind of people

  You know, I think this bob guy is actually saying all this stuff ironically, as a sort of satire, shrouded as the act of a troll or some such other controversialist. Basically a very immersed type of troll. I think that's the only way to explain what we hear from this guy... I really don't see how anyone takes him as serious.

  hmmmm as much as I disagree with this AC, and the comment in question is silly, he's entitled to his opinion, no need to report him.

  Re:

  hmmm that's why it's still underdevelopment, but as the torrentfreak article stated with the advent of smaller more powerful and cheaper computers/radio equipment it just might actually be possible, if not now soon.

  Yep, they were most likely illegal by his way of phrasing it, but that doesn't mean ALL of his customers were pirates. Consider it progress, why walk to a store when you can buy/download it online?
