GET REAL
even though it does allow a cumbersome workaround
Cumbersome if you are a moron. You can even turn off auto run and you don't have to do anything.
Of course, one will have to recall to do this shift key thing EVERY single time you load a CD with copy protection.
Not of autorun is turned off. And if you have copied the CD contents to your PC, you will not need to load the CD a subsequent time.
Should you forget but one time, it will install and then holding down the shift key will forever more be a mute point as the copy protection will already have been installed.
Except that it will be just as easy to remove it if inadvertently installed. Change its name or whatever. I expect that the net will be full of script files that can be used to disable the driver for the less capable. All it takes is a few lines of code.
If you look at the DVD copy protection market, you will notice that Macrovision has a monopoly position and can and does dictate pricing.
Nice position if it were true. Not according to Sterling Auty, who said they were battling to slow price erosion.
Curiously no one has pointed out that(Macrovision)their DVD protection is easily circumvented by any one of a hundred free DVD ripper programs on the web.
How long have you been dead?
Sunncomm is currently a victim of a very large and organized short scheme.
Here we go again with the Shorting bs. Didn't Peter put a scheme in place last year or 2002 that stopped that. What is your evidence of there being a very large and organized short scheme?
Marovision has been lauding it's upcoming CDS300 product to numerous hedge fund allies and has convinced them that Sunncomm will go away and so is safe to naked short to extreme levels.
Very damning stuff and they should be jailed for it if true. What is your evidence of this? I assume Macrovision or its hedge fund allies don't go around informing every Jim and Joe that they are involved in highly illegal activities. I assume if Peter has evidence of this activity he has informed the relevent authorities and provided them with this evidence? I also assume he has initiated a lawsuit against Macrovision to claim damages as any company would do to protect it from such predatory action. If after all he was willing to sue Halderman for making the shift key and driver deactivation bypass known, something that the labels already knew anyway, I would think he would be suing Macrovision and the hedge funds for this far more serious and damaging act. I haven't seen any PR or other announcement on such action.
Sunncomm has the only copy protection product in the world, has a contract with a major label, BMG and is working on landing the others.
That's good. Let's pretend the other 200 million copy protected disks out there don't exist. Let's pretend that EMI, Universal and BMG are not using CDS200 in Europe and Japan.
Does it have some skeletons in the closet?? Probably a few
Let's here them then. What skeletons are in SunnComm's closet.
but sometimes thats what you end up doing when you're a small company
Why?
