Intel to cut Linux out of the content market (Inquirer)Intel to cut Linux out of the content market (Inquirer)Posted Jul 16, 2005 12:58 UTC (Sat) by khim (guest, #9252)In reply to: Intel to cut Linux out of the content market (Inquirer) by riteshsarraf Parent article: Intel to cut Linux out of the content market (Inquirer)
This is easy in theory, hard in practice: people are stupid and we do not have $300'000'000 to spend for campaign. This is really bad thing. When we had 10'000 incompatible DRM schemes it was wonderful: "normal" consumer was biten often enough to understand why DRM is bad. If there are single DRM scheme "normal" consumer will be content and minority will be ignored. This is why I have over 1'000 unwatched DVDs in my house: I know I'll be able to watch them in the future, I know my friends will be able to use them to produce AMVs and so on. Once "new dark age" (era where most information is lost forever for future historician since DRM does not offer a way to decrypt something 100 after it was sold) will come - I'll have something to watch and hear. For many years to come in fact :) P.S. Will term "new dark age" used as exlanation of what Intel and Microsoft are doing be good for campaign or not ?

Er... you've spent $20,000 or more on DVD's that you can't watch?
Intel to cut Linux out of the content market (Inquirer) Posted Jul 17, 2005 1:10 UTC (Sun) by khim (guest, #9252) [Link] I never said "I can't watch them" - I've just not had time to watch them all. There are of course hundred or two (may be more, but who's counting?) of DVDs I've already watched. Some - for more then one time...

If this Intel/DRM/TCPA/Microsoft deal becomes successful, it will mean that our society has also become a global Orwellian state. The signs to that are all over the place. The rate at which this proceeds, is closely dependent on the total number of Al-Qaeda bombs exploded per month. BTW , did i already mention that : "Al-Qaeda Is Fiction: The Organization Doesn't Exist" http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2005/040705doesn... Robert
