saying there isn't is the fastest way to get someone to tell you what it is though |

it works better if you throw in a "Linux sucks" or two though |

the sheer amount of effort that's gone into the CD (anti-)copying war is amazing |

dashcloud: and it's all be basically for naught. Every major piece of media out there gets pirated. |

It's not for naught. |

The most effective front at this point is video game consoles. And even they've all be cracked. |

The purpose of copy protection is to slow down obvious piracy for the first six weeks of a product release. |

have you seen the amount of effort needed to defeat any modern copy protection system- it's now well beyond what a single person can do, and probably even a small team |
|

odie5533 |
dashcloud: a lot of them seem to use the same protection systems, so once it's cracked by one it's cracked by all. |

I'm pretty sure the only reason blu-ray is as good as it is, is because there's a company in a legally untouchable country that can just throw crap loads of money and resources at it |

what country is that? |

They put a lot of work into the copy protection system not with the plan to make it uncrackable, but to make it uncrackable within a few weeks |
