    They have tons of music torrents you can download. I can give you and invite code if you would like.

    Really? I remember you bursting out some comment in the lounge. In my thread about Intel motherboards vs other motherboards, you asked this question "What is the matter, you cant find one to download illegally?" You meant it as an insult, however now you are promoting a file sharing site and its use for downloading music. Thats interesting. I would like an invite code though.

      Recently an RIAA executive suggested renaming DRM to "Consumer Content Enablement" because he thinks they're simply losing the PR naming battle. So do you feel "enabled" yet?! Stupid crocks got their head so far up their bleeps.. What an age we live in, when we're treated like a criminal for legally buying things in stores like any common thief. Oh, wait..


      Cheers,

      I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

        Plus, the special hardware requirements are bleeding-edge new, DRM encumbered hardware is just beginning to come out. And the vast majority of studios have said they won't implement it yet (obviously, so that people will all have DRM-encumbered hardware when they finally decide to turn it on - if they turned it on now, people would get so angry immediately that it would never take hold).

        So you are saying you don't currently need a monitor that supports the encrypted signal or a graphics card that has the HDMI output?

        No, actually, I don't. You do if you run Vista [snicker] but I'm very happy with XP Pro, but that's beside the point. Also, Vista does this regardless of whether or not your media actually has any DRM! Bloody retarded.. At any rate, it still won't plug the analog hole.

          This whole DRM thing to go away so we can return to the realm of quasi-sanity..

            After buying a new CD from Wal-Mart I went and downloaded some free bonus songs that came with it. But after downloading it locked up MediaMonkey and WMP trying to play them because of some stupid DRM protection. I tried a few converters but all they did was crash too. So basically I can't even play the free songs I got. I hate this Digital Rights Management crud! X| Does anyone have any suggestions?

                Bring it back to the store. Tell them you can't play because of the DRM protection on the CD.

                    Nope. Only applies if the media has the appropriate form of DRM and has the 'downgrade outputs' flag enabled. Which basically means HD digital cable, HD-DVD or Blu-Ray. It does not apply to legacy (e.g. DVD) playback. Microsoft are not completely retarded. The condition the movie studios put on permitting software playback of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray was that this 'secure' path was included in the OS. If the flag is set (not currently used, apparently), non-HDCP digital connections are disabled outright, and analogue connections are downscaled to some rubbish resolution - 800x600 or something like that, I forget.
