I'm confused? How does the camera stop you eating the sweets when and how you want once you've paid for it? DRM does exactly that.
but I don't want to sample the vege crisps and pine nuts when I've paid for them. I want to be able to do it and then decide if I want to pay later.
why do they treat me like a criminal? I'm just a fan of their product.
They deserve to have their goods stolen if they're going to treat their audience with such disrespect, etc etc, -
The peer to peer filtering thing is already in force in a number of countries and through an expanding bunch of local isp's
just the examples I've already given you. xnet's naked broadband filters Vuse peer to per completely. you get about a minute and then it shuts down your connection completely until you turn Vuse off.
Slingshot on my one try on their network did likewise.
xtra filters un encrypted Peer to peer.judging by xnet's approach it is possible to shut down peer to peer. just epends on who's up for doing it.
I've read similar comments from people encountering similar overseas.
I thought this thread was long winded and boring, dubber's one is hilarious.

ISP filtering requirements seems to be dropping out of the list of demands from the RIAA and the MPAA are making similar noises, though the threat of the (peer-to-peer) filtering-big-stick remains.
it reads to me like they're getting the foot in the door with a 'we only want to write polite emails' angle and once they're in there with access to whats being shared on line and have a feel for the situation they'll move forward with either filtering or prosecution.
The peer to peer filtering thing is already in force in a number of countries and through an expanding bunch of local isp's. data encoding helps to negate some but not all isp's attempts, but encoding slows down transfer and uses a lot of processing power on your computer.

I don't think 'they' have quite the all pervasive muscle they might think they have.
"they" will actually be the film and tv industry, music's just along for the ride. maybe 'music' is softening up the crowd for the headline act.
and re you're sky's fallen comment, perhaps you could use the same argument to convince shops to remove video surveillance. I find it annoying when I'm in the pick an mix section and see a camera looking straight at me. not that i'm wanting to 'pirate' their non drm goodies, why are they treating me like a criminal.

The slow inevitable death of DRM
did it fall or was it pushed?

actually I read that informationweek story as a thin edge of the wedge approach.
They're being all smilie and no invasive to get their foot in the door and then once we accept that (we're just going to warn you with a nice polite email, honest) they'll step it up. once they've experimented with the options they've got with free view into the worlds behavior on line. -
That informationweek story is an admission of earlier incompetence more than anything else. More wild flailing....
more an admission that its all pr and hype, that you've got to pretend you're being nice so that grumpy media commentators won't get the community up in arms against you.
Having a legal and reasonable business stand point isn't enough it seems.

it was you who posted the letters RIAA. That is the old school.
I did also say thin edge of the wedge.
RIAA is more than 3 old fucks round a table these days though,
even rianz is working to con the youngsters into their midst recently, possibly pushed by that megalith wannabe major Independent music new zealand (IMNZ). (how can they be independent if they're a group with membership fees board meetings and minutes? that's just confusing) -
Christmas decorations with somewhat more flair than I saw in the homeland
don't they just, its an all day breakfast of token lights and decorations there. as I mentioned on another thread nz didn't seem to be going for the new year thing at all this year, with no free terrestrial tv doing the usual countdown or yearly round up. My japanese partner noted the complete apathy with which the locals did anything 'festive' compared to the japanese example I had witnessed in 2006 which saw the town go up in one big fireball of light, ok, not quite but ..... it was impressive, if somewhat meaningless, but pretty.

As one industry voice said to me over Xmas, the day when Warner Music is purchased by some Ukrainian Gas company for 50c a share ain't that far off.
that's so old school of you to think of the music 'industry' in terms of what happens to major labels. aren't we well past that now?
ISP monitoring is going to be all about movies and video files, and the fringe benefit winners on that game may well be music copyright holders,.... or not,
