Anti-Piracy Bill:
Ever hear of the Induce Act sponsored by Orrin Hatch? Well if you haven’t you better get interested…and quick. I think that the opposition to this is going to be fierce but you never really know how this things will go unless you get informed and involved.

I don't see how a law like that could work...

Post by Bill Drayton Jr. »

prohibition based on whether or not an electronic device could be used for something illegal? What couldn't be used for an illegal activity?

I'd be surprised if Orin Hatch even knows what is even going on - he's an RIAA puppet I tell you!!!!


"Ah, yeah hello - this is Orin Hatch again...I can't remember what this medication does again...do you think it could be used for illegal purposes?"

"After more than five years, the Beastie Boys have released a new album. It seems that the retail disc is bundled with a copy protection autoinstaller which silently silently puts itself onto the listener's computer. Many listeners are up in arms and some are venting their frustrations on the band's website."

The Beastie response to the allegation

Post by McNevin »

. There is NO copy controlled software on US or UK releases of Beastie Boys' "To the 5 Boroughs."

2. The disk *IS* copy controlled in Europe - which is standard policy for all
Capitol/EMI titles (and a policy used by ALL major labels in Europe).

3. The copy protection system used for all EMI/Capitol releases including "To the 5 Boroughs" is Macrovision's CDS-200, which sets up an audio player into the users RAM (not hard drive) to playback the RED book audio on the disk. It does absolutely NOT install any kind of spyware, shareware, silverware, or ladies wear onto the users system.

You can find more information on the technology used here:
http://www.macrovision.com/products/cds ... ndex.shtml

This is what EMI has to say about it:
Reports that "spyware" is being included on the Beastie Boy's CD, 'To The Five Boroughs' are absolutely untrue.

While the Beastie Boys CD does use copy control in some territories, there is no copy control on the Beasties Boys discs in the US or the UK. Where copy protection is used, it is Macrovision's CDS-200 technology; the same technology being used for the past several months around the world for all of EMI's releases in those territories. This Macrovision technology does NOT install spyware or vaporware of any kind on a users PC. In fact, CDS-200 does not install software applications of ANY KIND on a user's PC. All the copy protection in CDS-200 is hardware based, meaning that it is dependent on the physical properties and the format of the CD. None of the copy protection in CDS-200 requires software applications to be loaded onto a computer.

The technology does activate a proprietary Macrovision player in order to play the CD on a PC, and that player converts WMA compressed files to audio on the fly. It also temporarily installs a graphic "skin" for the player. Nothing is permanently installed on a hard drive. These details can be verified in the 'install.log' file in the computer's root directory.
Note the missuse of the term "Vaporware"

Wow! Too bad it doesn't install any vapor ware. It would be cool to be playing some Duke Nukem Forever or (ahem) d0nkey while I listened to the new Beastie Boys CD.
