  • Hard News: You can't always get what you…,

    BTW.... how do the special authorized TPM breakers learn how to do it if no-one's allowed to tell them how?

    What if its as simple as holding down a key when the disk is inserted in a computer? Will Dell/Apple/Microsoft et-al be prosecuted for issuing user manuals for their products?

    I won't be able to help you though. I think …

    (3) A person (A) must not publish information enabling or assisting another person to circumvent a technological protection measure if A intends that the information will be used to infringe copyright in a TPM work.

    Well, I'm not a lawyer but that appears to have a loop-hole big enough to drive a truck through... Publish the information with some other intent....

    You could share it, intending to prove that its possible, or, intending to prove that you have that knowledge, or intending that it will turn the sky green....

    Knowledge that the information may be used for some other purpose than the one you intended does not in itself constitute intent that it be used that way... surely?

  • Media7 on YouTube,

    Seems I was premature....

    Now iTunes can show you the titles of the segments that you cant download.

    :(

  • OnPoint: Dear Peter Brown: *Hug*,

    Yeah well, that's part of American culture we could skip.

    Whether it needs to be skipped or not depends on what's actually happening...

    Feeling obliged to express solidarity and show you are not a terrorist.... bad.

    Feeling proud of and grateful to a nation that has genuinely accepted you into it... not so bad, surely?

    Also, the podcasts from www.tvnz.co.nz/media7 are now available to iTunes... (when attempted yesterday they were not working).

  • Hard News: Psst! Got any Earl Grey?,

    But none of you Kiwi's probably have the faintest who cuddly old Noel is.

    Um, anyone who watched TV1 in the '90's should know... we had several seasons of the Noel Edmonds show... Mr Blobby, Crinkley Bottom, etc.

  • Island Life: Rage against the machines,

    The kiln might leave a suitably blobby mass for satisfactory later contemplation.... But it's a bit slow and boring, and probably not even visible in the actual "doing" of it...

    I'm thinking the violent release of kinetic energy is more satisfactory in the short term?

    Smack em up a bit, then kiln them!
