		<description>I think this is good, you get to enjoy the movie from home and the content creators/providers protect their product/service...I don&#039;t see what the big problem is and I think this will help set more records as it catches on with the public.</description>

		<description>@#93 - Perhaps you did not read into this the same way I did...
See my post above - #91.

It does not seem that open source software will avoid having to use locked down hardware. If there is something in the firmware of a device, us linux users are in the same boat as everyone else (not to mention issues developing, as always, to run on closed source hardware). Unless of course, you know how to run an x86 comparable system on an arduino ...</description>

		<description>Now I feel ill.
 
The good news: Someone hacked the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip recently... so if *that&#039;s* possible then anything can be hacked, hardware-wise. You just have to find someone who has the know-how and is willing to do it.
 
And, the Moral: 
 
There is nothing built by Man
that Man cannot take apart again.</description>

		<description>Good! Let them do their worst! The more they try to put people in a headlock, the more piracy there will be. And then they&#039;ll go sniveling to the gov again, that it&#039;s &quot;ruining the business&quot; as they usually do. Corporate welfare at its best.

When they began playing this shell game with TV fifteen years ago, I just canceled my cable subscription and stopped watching the damn thing altogether, even broadcast TV.

Also, I only go to second run theaters where a bucket of popcorn is still about $1.50. By the time the movie gets there, I know I won&#039;t be disappointed. What about the few really good shows like Lost or Carnivale? I rent the whole season at the video store for next to nothing and watch it all in one weekend with like minded friends. We have a ball and a lot of beer!

I recently had to sit down and watch TV for a whole evening with a sick relative. It drove me bananas! No wonder she&#039;s sick! It was like watching broadcast from another planet. What little I managed to follow (I was totally disinterested in whatever they were excited about on screen) was so incredibly stupid and irritating that I thought there was something wrong with ME!

I found out that I don&#039;t need to be brainwashed by TV every night, or listen only to the news they want me to know, or pay for stupid shows about whales I don&#039;t give a hoot about (No! I don&#039;t care at all about whales, OK?), or see whatever few worthwhile shows there are immediately as they come out, or pay through the nose at the theater to see a bunch of first run bombs in hopes that the next movie&#039;s going to be any good.

They pushed me fifteen years ago. This is my way of pushing back.

I am not to be messed with.</description>

		<description>But don&#039;t worry. At least we have the Internet. But what if those bad ol&#039; corporations who built it try to take it over? We&#039;d better give the FCC authority to keeps it nice and neutral. That&#039;ll work great!

&quot;The Obama White House has done some good, but its administrative branch is stuffed with Hollywood lawyers who are Democratic Party stalwarts.&quot;

Sooo....the &quot;administration&quot; is somehow on our side, and the FCC is a rogue executive branch agency acting against their wishes? Even better.</description>

		<description>It won&#039;t affect piracy, it will affect regular consumers // the majority of people. Pirates are just scapegoats for upping security/fascist control - I don&#039;t think they really care about pirates. They can be dealt with when the rest of the population have been zombiefied.</description>

		<description>Once you let the movie industry mandate this SOC infrastructure, the TV industry will demand to use it to. &quot;DVRs are killing our ad revenue. We have to disable recording to stay in business,&quot; they&#039;ll say. And the FCC will bow willingly. The PC + internet is the only thing left for proper content, and even then, the PC is quickly being replaced by &quot;walled garden&quot; Apple devices...</description>

		<description>The new DRM schemes will break, just like every other DRM scheme, within a couple weeks at most. The majority of people that buy their gear at Best Buy and Walmart will only have the choice of pre-crippled gear, but nerds will find Chinese and Korean manufacturers to make working tech. 
So really, we&#039;ll be watching 1080p rips of new movies, but in a small percentage of the overall population because its just one step harder to get pirated content (googling &quot;non-drm hardware&quot;, buying it and THEN getting a torrent).</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s ass about Hollywood, but this is a huge step in the wrong direction. Piracy wins, Hollywood loses more face and money, and most of the world&#039;s population continue not to care one way or the other.</description>

		<description>this is bad and we should all fight it but it&#039;s so easy to get around its a joke.. come on people even if all the hardware companies jump on to this wagon, there will be bios flashes that disable this stuff and programs that circumvent it. i dont know how well osx will fair but windows and Linux have a lot of programmers out there that already do stuff like this there are home made drivers and bios flashes for a lot of hardware out there from routers to graphics cards to tv&#039;s.  a great example of this is nvidia&#039;s xphysics tech.</description>

		<description>I already don&#039;t. fell into a bunch that send me movies to download that have drm disabled. haven&#039;t bought one in over 2 years!!! theaters charge way too much for my taste. stuff I burn off is just as good and would do that anyway to keep from messing the original up if I bought it. </description>

		<description>We NEED TO OPEN EVERYTHING. an alternate market (something similar to Google Android market).
As someone said before, we need OPEN HARDWARE, but it is not that easy, we NEED OPEN CONTENT, OPEN SOFTWARE (like Linux), OPEN HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS (PCs, DVD players, TVs, etc...)
With an Alternative Market, we can say Goodbye to Hollywood, and expensive content with bad quality .

Like someone said before we should not forget other great alternatives of entertainment, like spend some time with your family outside, go to a REAL THEATER, Dance, play REAL music instruments or watch some REAL band with talent, Do something useful with your hands (with wood, ceramics), etc...

Look at the state of music industry TODAY: Bad rap (with no melody) Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber (icons of discographic industry). THEN Just look for some videos of THE BEATLES (a band founded 50 years ago today) on youtube, I am sure you can find many 6 to 15 years old TEEN fans of the beatles, because they cant stand what the industry is &quot;GIVING THEM&quot; today (as an expensive GIFT).
By the way if you think I am an old man, I am 30 years old.
You know, if Cory Doctorow and Richard Stallman start a Political and Universal party, COUNT ME IN.
WE SHOULD DEFFEND OUR FREEDOM TO DECIDE. 
ARENT WE LIVING IN DEMOCRACY?? </description>

		<description>How is this not a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse act as &quot;Exceeding Access&quot;?  If I put a DVD/Blu-Ray/New-Hotness(tm) disk into my computer I want it to do one thing *and one thing only*: play a video.  By doing anything else automatically (phoning home, turning off components of *my* computer system, etc.) it has exceeded the access *I* gave it over *my* property.  Unfortunately, IANAL, so I have no idea how this isn&#039;t a violation of the law when it happens to a networked computer.  I would appreciate it if someone with more knowledge than I would chime in.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How is this not a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse act as &#8220;Exceeding Access&#8221;?  If I put a DVD/Blu-Ray/New-Hotness(tm) disk into my computer I want it to do one thing *and one thing only*: play a video.  By doing anything else automatically (phoning home, turning off components of *my* computer system, etc.) it has exceeded the access *I* gave it over *my* property.  Unfortunately, IANAL, so I have no idea how this isn&#8217;t a violation of the law when it happens to a networked computer.  I would appreciate it if someone with more knowledge than I would chime in.</p>

		<description>The AP reports:
&quot;In its decision Friday, the agency stressed that its waiver includes several important conditions, including limits on how long studios can use the blocking technology. The FCC said the technology cannot be used on a particular movie once it is out on DVD or Blu-Ray, or after 90 days from the time it is first used on that movie, whichever comes first.&quot;</description>

		<description>Hackers are about to become very important to me.  ANYTHING that can be put into an electronic device can be hacked and altered or disabled. . . period.  The FCC has just created a new economy, this is the age of the hacker. I will gladly pay a reasonable cost to have my devices cleaned of all of this kind of crap and I bet there are millions of people just like me out there. All you software and hardware hackers out there, send a thank you letter to the FCC for securing your financial future!</description>

		<description>If SOC is not required by law, what is to prevent manufacturers from *NOT* including them? I&#039;m thinking of those cheap DVD players from China does do not respect the region-lock.</description>

		<description>Yeah, the FCC says that they can only use it for 90 days or until the DVD release, but they *don&#039;t* say that this can only be used while the movie&#039;s in theaters.

The studios sold this to the Commission by saying that they wanted to enable the &quot;new business model&quot; of watching current release movies on your TV at home. 

But as worded, the FCC just sets up a new release window: instead of theater -&gt; delay -&gt; DVD, they&#039;ll go theater -&gt; delay -&gt; SOC -&gt; DVD.  This will piss off the DVD retailers, but the studios have practically declared war on them already (see Redbox).</description>

		<description>The analogy to DVDs is a good one, but it has two critical flaws:

* DVD-CCA license terms don&#039;t regulate sub-components (except to the extent that they prohibit user-modifiability). This means that you can build a noncompliant DVD player out of the same stuff as a compliant one. Not true for next-gen DRM.

* The DVD-CCA did not set aside a war-chest for suing license violators. As a result, they&#039;ve had almost no suits against noncompliant device vendors. This is NOT true of next-gen license cartels: these folks have asked their founding members to give them huge reserve-sums for suing noncompliant implementors. 

So while noncompliant DVD vendors were able to get parts and avoid litigation, the studios are attempting to see to it that next-gen DRM violators will not enjoy these safe harbors.</description>
