The Electronic Frontier Foundation finally succeeded at something: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) won three critical exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) anticircumvention provisions today, carving out new legal protections for consumers who modify their cell phones and artists who remix videos — people who, until now, could have been sued for their [...]

For at least 2-3 years, including on this blog, I have been pointing out the hypocrisy resulting from the commercialization of open-source software, including the FSF selling out to special interests, TPM in the Linux kernel, the NSA winning a “no-bid contract” of sort into the Linux kernel’s remote attestation features, remote attestation in Linux [...]

There have been a lot of posts (and political lobbying) within the past few years by a dying Media 1.0 establishment and a gullible public to discourage the creation and reading of blogs, this time by encouraging Twitter and Facebook as replacements for blogs. Examples: 1 2 3 4 Rather than go on a standard [...]

They say bitrates of MP3 shouldn’t matter after a certain point. And while I feel an unexplainable pain in my ears, I am past the age of hearing the so-called “mosquito ringtone”. So you’d think it wouldn’t matter to a 25-year-old. However, I can “tell” the difference between “–preset extreme” VBR and crap because the [...]

Bush’s Razorblade Suitcase is always criticized and shit on. Their first album, Sixteen Stone, which contains all their classic rock radio hits, was criticized for being a set-up corporate ripoff of then-deceased Nirvana. (And while we all love the hits, it isn’t anything special. I have it.) So for their next album, Razorblade Suitcase, Bush [...]

Unhappy being forced to retag all my ripped CDs the past two days *again* to fit the ridiculous "media library" concept. When are they gonna come out with Word & Excel File Library? We’ll all be forced to tag "Resume", "Recipe", "Accounting", "Charts", "Home Business", "Insurance", and everyone else will be confused! But just like [...]

Linux is just as much crooked as the other “unfree” competitors who make sleazy deals and use crooked NSA and MAFIAA technology. Flame me again this time asshole fanboy sheepfuckers, I’ll just spam your ad hominem bullshit comments this time instead of debating you intelligently the same arguments over and over when you just attack [...]
