You're kidding, right? The court didn't find that Russinovich broke the law because that wasn't the issue brought before the court. Do you actually believe SonyBMG would've brought suit? Aside from the fact that it would've been laughed out of court to begin with, there would've been no basis once the security companies & Microsoft got on board & declared XCP to be malware.It's beyond comprehension how you could think that I'm doing anything but pointing out the absurdity of the law that was violated, but let me ask you this: if you're rushing someone to the hospital, and by exceeding the speed limit you might save their life, does it mean you're not breaking the law?
That's a dramatic analogy, but an accurate one. SOMEONE had to break the law in order to provide the necessary information to classify XCP for what it was. It couldn't be done otherwise, since SonyBMG represented it ONLY as copy protection.
What's so difficult about this to understand?
If you doubt my sincerity, that's fine. I've been fairly consistent in my posts on this site on any topic, including this one. For several years now. I invite you to check out that 80+ post thread on the second page of Rocky Road, since you seem to have some warped view of my opinion. And if you think I'm some kind of industry stooge, that's yr delusion. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say, and I AM serious when I say I will never again purchase a Sony product of ANY kind.
Until decided otherwise in a court of law, I will continue to maintain that illegal file-sharing is copyright infringement & not theft, and whoever says otherwise helps contribute to an environment where a much-needed overhaul of this absurd law will prove more problematic & difficult than it needs to be. My dismay at the devaluation of music is FAR exceeded by my disgust & loathing for the RIAA, their members, and their tactics. The mess the music business has become is due far less to their scapegoat of copyright infringement than they claim it is. Beyond that, I believe that the RIAA is an organization that involves a lot of people who know about things like business, and marketing, and precious little about music.
Sorry to change the subject, but I don't like being called a liar, pal. Meanwhile, you might find that thread interesting. But for now I'll link to this one, which I feel bad for having hijacked, and worse for making an enemy of someone I like & respect & agree with on many issues, but not this one. Continue to believe whatever you wish about me if it makes you feel better.
