Isn't that game getting old? I want the copy limitation code to be legally defeated. Nobody should be able to limit the media to restrict me from managing my data -- whether it be music or not. I can understand how they don't want me giving away thousands of copies of their copyrighted work, but I should be able to duplicate it as many times as I want as long as I don't distribute it. And that's to say nothing of the fact that it might be MY copyrighted work I want to make thousands of copies of and distribute or make cup holders of! 67075@blogcritics.org Thu, 3 Jun 2004 07:15:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/02/213226.php#comment-67069 i wouldn't worry, this is just heading the same way the software market has gone: company develops great new "unbreakable" copy protection, about a week later (maximum), some hot crack group releases a crack/some kind of workaround for it. In fact, if anything, the speed with which cracks for new games/general cracks for general copy protection systems are released these days seems to be increasing. It'll be the same if this music copy protection becomes general use. 67069@blogcritics.org Thu, 3 Jun 2004 06:21:22 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/02/213226.php#comment-67033 this is just like that frontline show last week...there were people working for the industry who just did not get it. 67033@blogcritics.org Wed, 2 Jun 2004 23:50:10 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/02/213226.php#comment-67012 Wait, they want to limit how many copies I can make of a once blank CD that I bought and copied something onto? What if I'm just making backups of my own files? I'm going to have to pay for CDs that can only be copied a limited number of times? 67012@blogcritics.org Wed, 2 Jun 2004 21:57:11 EDT
