DVD Copying: You bought it, you don't own it!!!

There is a push for proposed amendment to current copy protection licenses that would ban any and all DVD copying, including for fair use. Want to rip your DVDs to a Media Center PC so you can watch movies without putting a disc in?

Too bad!!!

You want to rip a DVD to watch a movie on your laptop without the power draining DVD spinning constantly? That would be against the rules if this passes.

This has been brought up twice before only to be voted down, hopefully for the third and final time!!!

Read it all right here. [PC Mag]

Hello..I'm an iTunes.....and I'm a hack!!!


The current version of iTunes, 7.1.1, has been cracked by the creators of QTFairUse6. This allows the user to strip the purchased songs from itunes of its DRM shackles. The software is only for Windows, so my Mac friends will have to wait until someone makes a version for them.

I'm sure Apple has already been informed and iTunes 7.1.2 will make sure to counter the hack.

So if you hate DRM and want to be a pirate, hit the jump for the hack.
