Company tries to make DVD Copying Hard...

[dropCGCF]

I think if companies were smart, they would sell movies on uncopyable-USB drives.

Ha. 256mbs of USB space is expensive as hell. I don't want to drop 60 dollars on a movie.

There will always be a way to break through any type of protection. Encryption of files was invented back in the late 80's and people still get their Credit Card's stolen off of big secure socketed websites.

Hacker's find ways and eventually make it known to all, in what would appear to be a "program" they wrote for the non=hax0r commune.

Besides, you should be able to save a CD to your computer if you have the REAL CD with an encrypted authentication. They shouldn't restrict real buyers from ripping the CD, if they don't want to have the CD everytime they wanna hear the music.

And DVD's? Easy to bypass protected DVD's on a Mac. You don't RIP the DVD as a DVD. On a Mac you copy the disk itself as a Disk Image and not a DVD Master. Once you have that copied... you double click on it and it Mounts like a DVD but it's NOT a DVD copy, it's just an image of a disk.

But anyway.... eventually something will be made by an l337 hax0r to bypass these securities.

The RIAA and the MPAA just need to give up and stop focusing on stoping piracy. The idiots seem to think that the problem is lack of anti-piracy protection. That's not the problem. The only reason I pirate music is because the industry sucks in general. There is to much advertising, and the record industry makes Billions off of shi|ty artists like John Mayer. Why should I help contribute to an organization that makes billions exploiting music, especially when the music I listen to is usually not contrived. If there was a way to send my 10-14 dollars directly to the band, then I'd buy more CDs. But there isn't. I'm surprised more bands haven't taken stances agains the RIAA.

Same goes with the MPAA, only not as much.
