So we should all use that line of defence:

If speeding, go faster to prevent arrest ==> Win!

If running over somebody, run away and kill witnesses to prevent arrest ==> Win!

If robbing a bank, kill anybody trying to stop you. ==> Win!

If owning a bank, launder money and pay off people to prevent arrest ==> Win!

If [hurting other people for profit], pay government or Kill/harass people to prevent arrest ==> Win!

The wild west is back. Carry a gun people and be ready to use it.

FYI:
K-Lite is a codec pack for players that use "system" codecs.
System Codec packs do not upgrade/play with others well.
One version => Video A works, Video B is broken.
New Codec pack => Video A broken, Video B is works.
FSCK that!

VLC only uses its own built-in codecs and almost always works.
Chances are if VLC won't play it, the video is corrupt.

IOW: They don't care about monopolies as long as they pay their Monopoly-insurance dues.

So does Netgear.

For example, You cannot manage a wndr3800 with HTTPS.
You must use HTTP ONLY.

If you point the camera on a politician you won't have to wait a month to watch a crime to happen.

I bet if they came out with a game where you are an NSA agent snooping on other players to make them do things would be banned, too.

I'm more worried about MS EEE'ing FLAC/MKV.

Yes they will. Just like cable companies, they will get the best laws that money can buy.

I predict in 10 years: money is privacy
No money == no Certs == No privacy

After all, money is speech (Thanks, you corrupt USSC!)
No money == STFU

Replace Cisco, and Akamai and then maybe I'll be convinced it's better than the current situation. But it's still oxymoronic service: A central authority that *REQUIRES* trust for people who don't trust anybody.

And what do you do for countries with draconian Cert laws like England? (They want a copy of your root cert)

The resulting entity would have to be incorporated in Iceland or something. FAR away from 5-eye's dragnets.

In Australia, however, "Country Pricing" has gone "full retard"

That's OK.
We'll just buy LFTRs from China and India in 10-20 years.
