Probaly you won't believe me though :( Oh well, not much I can do except ask for it to be removed is there.

And yes, fair point regarding the viewpoints thing, however I'm reading what you posted which is another persons words that aren't there in their entirety so I can read the semantics either way.

I have definitely not failed to relate it to the issue at hand since it is related.

Is this seriously trying to say that people viewpoints are unable to be atered
If you had given any thought about the first line itself, then you would know that it is saying that whatever are the viewpoints of people, whether it regards their particular interests of the general interest of the people, the idea of the general will and common interest itself cannot be changed, nor can the idea be destroyed. Although people may differ on what exactly is the common interest and general will, the idea itself is unalterable and indestructible. The idea of public good shall always be there, and shall eventually prevail, even though, for the time being, it may be encroached upon by interests of factions.

One would need to be blind to all of history to think that the public good does not prevail, or that tyranny lasts forever. Take, for example, the abolition of serfdom.

The point of my comment, I agree. It's a shame companies are hurting the customers for buying the game, while pirates like ourselves enjoy a fully working product with no hidden software. My sympathy goes to the customers.

From here perhaps: http://books.google.com.au/books?id=6cVgNriRS4cC&…

The first line is at odds with what happens in the real world – unless you give qualications:

"The general will is always constant, unalterable and pure"

Is this seriously trying to say that people viewpoints are unable to be atered – what a load of bollocks. because this

So this quote is trying to say

Backpeddle much…?

Would be nice though if you could answer the question I posed seeing as I don't see what your talking about. Please tell us what power it provides over people as I don't see what you're talking about.

Also, try to be specific rather than posting something very vague and open ended

Would be nice though if you could answer the question I posed seeing as I don't see what your talking about. Seriously, please tell us what power it provides.

you.will.not.get.my.money.

i.will.only.download.via.P2P.

find another way or become dust.. i really dont care. theres just some people that will refuse to be scammed in any way sense or form.. go waste your time on other mindless morons who will buy anything you put in front of them.

Pirate for life.

This is old news TF, I think this happened on something like Thursday??

That is not true as evidenced many times in the past.

"DRM is all about absolute power, absolute control of property and peoples behavior. "

DRM has no power ramifications other than to prevent you copying content which you had a choice to purchase in the first place. Also, like many paranoid raving twits you're grouping together governments and corporate entities which flies in the face of reality (not that you appear to take much notice of reality but rather rely on paranoid fantasy in your own mind). In case you hadn't noticed, the Goverment is in power and they are organising discussions about DRM.

"DRM is a terror tool" … "an eslavement tool".

Those two are just ridiculous to the point of hilarity. No one is forcing anyone to purchase products with DRM or run them. Entirely voluntary.

"terror and control"

Right. DRM is terrifying the population. We are all cowering in the face of terrifying DRM.

I don't support DRM by any means but your post is ridiculous to the point of hilarity. I hope to God you don't run those lines at Government and tarnish the rest of us with that crap.

Demos dont do it for me. only pirating the real deal.

Please explain yourself.

…wat?

The general will is always constant, unalterable and pure; but it is subordinated to other wills which encroach upon its sphere. Each person, in detaching his or her interest from the common interest, sees clearly that he or she cannot entirely separate them; but his share in the public mishaps seems to him or her negligible beside the exclusive good he or she aims at making his or her own. Apart from this particular good, he or she wills the general good in his or her own interest, as strongly as any one else. Even in selling his or her vote for money, he or she does not extinguish in him or herself the general will, but only eludes it. The fault he or she commits is that of changing the state of the question, and answering something different from what he or she is asked. Instead of saying, by his or her vote, "It is to the advantage of the State," he or she says, "It is of advantage to this or that person or party that this or that view should prevail." Thus the law of public order in assemblies is not so much to maintain in them the general will as to secure that the question be always put to it, and the answer always given by it.

Netscum…

DRM has long fingers across the world, it should be stopped before it goes to far.
People have fought wars to have certain rights, millions have died, DRM is all about absolute power, absolute control of property and peoples behavior.
DRM is part of the essence that has been fought against for generations in many countries around the world.

DRM is a terror tool, to force behavior and control on the many weak by the few powerfull, an enslavement tool.
You cannot control people, but it has been an obsession by those with power since time began and it has been faught for always. Today it is virtual enslavement, it is virtual rights, its virtual property, intellectual property.
Some believe it doesnt exist you have no "digital" rights, well then you should have no "intellectual" property since there would be no sutch thing.
Its complex and its always about power over others, enslavement and domination, terror and control..

Sony, we have not forgotten neither are we gonna… your ass is grass and we are always going to be the lawnmower.

Nice article TF, these articles always give me a little hope for today, even if tomorrow those hopes get dashed because morons who cant find their @ssholes from the noses totally mess it up or in the end buy into "industry experts" explanations.

Instead of having panels and so forth, these damn 'inspectors' should use a little search engine… known as Google… and do a little 'inspecting' on "DRM" a few tech sites and a couple of visits to Wikipedia plus the links from the wikipedia page would do a lot more good than one week with a dozen people from both camps just shouting louder to make their case heard.

Cheers!
