Re:Better than upstream measures (Score 1)

I didn't suggest it. It was merely my initial response which has since been revised due to many good arguments elsewhere on this board. I just know that I've dealt with crappy copy-protection schemes in the past that have made my purchased product unusable, and the whole idea of outlawing DVD rippers is ludicrous. Upon further reflection, so is this.

That's the purpose of debate--to flesh out those problems. No reason to be rude and hateful. BTW, just because Carnivore is dead doesn't mean the governmaent isn't monitoring. They now use OTS packages. And that's not even taking Eschelon into account.
