  1. Comment - Sony to Help Remove its DRM Rootkit

    Just incase many of you aren't thinking about this yet, but I'll bet there many other music/companies/lables are employing the same tactic. It's totally dishonest of them.

    Although it's a rare occasion for me to insert someones cd/dvd in my computer, now it went to a 100% HALT. I'll never use anyones cd's anymore, especially if they're not computer/security saavy.

    I suspect EVERY disc will have some type of protection on it afterwhile, and the cd/dvd buying software will quickly come to a stop, or at least they'll divert their methods.

    To be honest with you, the safest cd's & dvd's you can get hold of are the ones you download. They have been stripped of their deceitfulness.

    And speaking of deceitfulness, have anyone ever noticed this:

    When we buy dvd's we are "paying" for the production cast/crews "MISTAKES" they cramm all that extra crap onto the dvd's and then they charge us for it. I don't care how they made the movie. I don't care that they forgot their script. I just want the move.. no more, no less. Are these companies willing to make versions of their movies without all that crap? and charge less?

    A classic case of deceitfulness by the entertainment industry:

    you go to the movies and you see a movie, then when the movie comes out on DVD, it's NOT what you went and seen in the theatre. My complaint would be of the movie "Eraser" with Arnold Swartssennager & Vaness Williams. At the end of the movie (IN THE THEATRES) the "soundtrack "Erase" by Vanessa Williams was played. On the radio it was said that you will NOT get that song ANYWHERE, because it wasn't packaged anywhere. It was also said the "soundtrack" is not in stores and it won't be.

    Nevertheless, I bought the VHS copy of it, JUST for the soundtrack at the end. Well, fast forwarding to the end, where the credits are shown, there was not even a 10 second piece of the song at all. It was in the movies with it, but not on my PAID version. Was I deceived? Well, I did download the song, (I wanted what I paid for) and I still have it. They cheated me, so I took action.

    Why are we being deceived & having to pay for versions of a movie that we didn't ask for?

    Theatre Version = Maybe You'll Get One
    Director's Version = Was that the one in the theatres?
    Special Edition Version = What's so special about it? I would need to compare it to the "CAM" shot taken from the theatre.
    and all the other versions. Why aren't we getting exactly what we pay for from the entertainment industry?

    Do they tell us we have an option to buy what we saw before? nope. They think they know perception of viewers, and that is... "About time this comes out, they won't remember all that they saw in the movies months ago." That wouldn't be a bad idea,,,, a central "CAM" station where you can comapare your bought movie from the one that was shown in theatres.

    If these companies took away all of their sneaky practices, lowered their prices and remained honest to "buyers/supporters", and get rid of the RIAA and other organizations, and just simply put a "Please Donate" for their works/causes, I'm sure they would surpass their expected "profit margin"

    One Man's Opinion

    I was reading that the vinyl is the same as the cd's now. Yep, they've limited your "album" coping too.
