I guess our age of piracy is over. I hope no body will buy thier software and they lose money and go to the old stuff. Sad

with windows longhorn alot of stuff could change as that might be the first attempt to make everything "more secure"
I guess people will switch to different operating systems then and/or hackers will find ways to run pirated games / software on windows longhorn...
only time will tell. But if nobody buys the crap it wont work anyways

That sounds really shitty. It was going to happen at some point I guess.
In the back of my mind I think it might be a good thing coz the way things are going, everyone will become a pirate (RRRRrrrr me hardiees!!). And that wouldn't work would it?

Eventually piracy will die out, in the future quantum encryption and monitoring of every action you take on your PC will make it impossible.

Enjoy your warez and freedom while you can boys! Especially if you're american. Razz

Ah, the naivety of youth.

Either that or you're stupid.

no, he is right. At some point the data has to be unencrypted and send to some playing facility. There you can always steal the audio, perhaps not as easy as now though.

And its also a question of how much monitoring the consumer wants to alllow on his/her computer. For me any intrusion into my privacy isnt going to happen. If MS or others think they want to do it, i d rather not buy PCs anymore and read more books or start building my own hardware/operating systems...

Build you own operating system? You've got to be kidding me!

Yeah, I agree with Lut. I can't imagine MS controlling my PC, with the option to erase every file on my PC with one line of code. I don't know how the US senate has approved this stupid law.

Build you own operating system? You've got to be kidding me!


look at all the free code you get from the different linux systems. You dont have to be an uber-geek guru programmer to hack future versions that might contain tcpa. If you cant you have to find a group of like-minded people to build one from scratch. Its not as if windows was the be-all-end-all of operating systems...

If piracy were to die out it´s gonna take a very VERY long time. And I still don´t think it will. But absolutely, it´s going to be harder and harder.
