[UPDATE] XDA, CyanogenMod joins Google & Wiki on Blackout

In the mean time (and getting our heads down out of the clouds), we could potentially develop several interim technological solutions that will stair-step our way toward a truly solid security breakthrough for the web and mitigate these issues almost entirely.

That's the problem with DRM. It doesn't stop pirating and only introduces complications for the paying consumer. If you've ever had an hdcp issue you know what I'm talking about.

Too true. DRM as a software solution is weak and problematic, and mostly punishes the person who bought the product. Still, I suspect there are both hardware and software solutions that we have yet to find/invent that could be a tremendous help. I don't mean to imply they will be easy solutions, just better in the long run.

So let me get this straight... You and the mods keep stepping in and saying that if the conversation about censorship goes in a direction that you do not approve of, that you will censor us here in the forum?

Kinda ironic, no?

Well it doesn't fall under us "censoring" you. Its just we have rules here you see.

Could someone please tell me where in America's Constitution a political party is even mentioned.

Its not about free speech, its about free music.

Supply and demand. If they wouldn't make it so expensive to begin with, they would make more honest sales and therefore more money.

Piracy is when you PROFIT from the sale of something. NO PROFIT,NO PIRACY. When you take something that does not belong to you without paying for it, that's called STEALING.

It doesn't matter if the Constitution gives me the right to the internet. This is a Constitutionally limited federal republic, with a free market economy, and I think that one could argue that under current constitutional law, or the statutes promulgated under them that it is the government that has no right to deny me access to the internet without just cause.

I'm not trying to sound mean, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.
