Rogers Family Coffee will give you a DRM defeating "Freedom Clip" that let's any K-cup work in the 2.0 Keurigs. I tried the 2.0 lid taped to an old K-cup trick for about a week. The Freedom clip is much easier. https://www.gourmet-coffee.com...

Why Sony Cannot Stop PS3 Pirates 378

Posted by Soulskill on Friday January 14, 2011 @07:29AM from the of-pots-and-kettles dept.

Sam writes "A former Ubisoft exec believes that Sony will not be able to combat piracy on the PlayStation 3, which was recently hacked. Martin Walfisz, former CEO of Ubisoft subsidiary Ubisoft Massive, was a key player in developing Ubisoft's new DRM technologies. Since playing pirated games doesn't require a modchip, his argument is that Sony won't be able to easily detect hacked consoles. Sony's only possible solution is to revise the PS3 hardware itself, which would be a very costly process. Changing the hardware could possibly work for new console sales, though there would be the problem of backwards compatibility with the already-released games. Furthermore, current users would still be able to run pirated copies on current hardware." An anonymous reader adds commentary from PS3 hacker Mathieu Hervais about Sony's legal posturing.
