That's great, but not as if it'll stop people from pirating stuff anyways. Only now it means that file-sharers will have one less 'legitimate' excuse to support their reasoning for pirating goods.

Still, it's nice to know I won't be fucked around by DRM, even though I was awesome enough to buy music. It made no real sense to punish me and other legitimate customers because of other people acting illegally.

The only game where everyone competes to be an e-janitor.

Meanwhile, EA and other companies continue to ship games with rootkits.

Also, Digg sucks. Why not just link to the article?

Already read it on reddit



I wonder if the gaming industry's cards will fall the same way. DRM that destroys hardware is bad.

Woah - I thought all it could do was block access.

I believe it was StarForce which was known to render some people's optical drives useless.
