I appreciate the heads up you gave us all about it, but by this point anyone who wants it has it and anyone who needs it can get it from their tech friends.

Funny I don't think the market leading Apple got their lawyers involved, they just continue to break it with each updates.

I know I'm going to regret saying this, but I feel bad for Microsoft. They're actually stuck in the middle here. Getting pushed around by both the labels and the hackers. Never thought I'd see the day.]]>Sep 16th 2006 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/Sep 16th 2006 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/Sep 16th 2006 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/
LOL, thank you... I think.. ;)

Anyways, personally, I think we need to take this full force to their face. Trying to put small guys like myself out of business for hosting freeware software does nothing to combat the real problem they have with copyright infringement. The fact is, once the software is released into the wild, nothing they can do will stop it. Let's take DVDShrink for example.

This is the internet for crying out loud. An independent breathing evolving entity. Not some small third world country with defined borders.

Viodentia has written a nice piece of software to solve a problem that music junkies are facing. Microsoft is trying to brand this software a "Crack". Don't let them do it. ]]>Sep 16th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/Sep 16th 2006 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/

This is a great program.

I long for the days when music files were just music, and the Internet was a playground with no bullies (even though replete with nerds...).

Rich, stuck up corporations should leave us plebeians to what little fun we have left: a free-spirited Internet.]]>Sep 18th 2006 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/16/microsoft-nastygrams-site-for-hosting-fairuse4wm/
As for that file that they are probably referring to, my guess it would be the physical downladed file that contains the DRM music. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't that file stay intact (very much how the iTunes DRM removal process happens), creating a new file.

And the license isn't for the physical file... it's for the music contained inside of it. So technically, creating an alternate copy of the file is very much creating a backup of it, leaving the original file untouched.

I really don't see how MS has a leg to stand on here, other than playing the cat and mouse game of staying a step ahead of the un-DRM tools.]]>Sep 19th 2006 3:25PM
