Never heard of HDCP?

HDCP is easy to bypass. Almost laughable really, there are tons of "Splitters" and Strippers on the market. I've also seem a few totally legal capture cards that can read it directly.

You can crack anything if you are remotely motivated.

Never say never. Especially since we're only in the beginning of the AI era, AI de-compilation is starting to become feasible, AI cracking probably will too.

Empress called it quits after she went insane. I don't think we're doing to get Denuvo crackers for quite a while....

I’m still getting justified in my boycott of anything Sony that started in 2005, when they bricked my PC for daring to put a Sony CD in my computer’s CD player! Fucking rootkit.

Yes I’m still holding that grudge and I will not relent, for as long as I live.

Any movie I watch I make sure it’s not a Sony product, any music I listen to, I make doubly sure it’s not from a Sony studio. Any electronics I buy, I make triply sure it doesn’t contain any Sony product. Sony is not getting a dime from me ever again!

Fuck Sony!

That rootkit thing failed miserably, thankfully, and audio CDs have been DRM-free ever since.

Sure, but I'm not touching anything Sony with a 10 foot pole.

That's going to discount most of the camera market if not the entire camera market then because Sony makes basically everyone's imaging sensors, plus a large portion of the anime genre given that company bought out Funimation.

The problem is every company is a Sony now.

So you have to buy from your least hated Sony. You can't just boycott Sony.

I've bought things from personalized ads before. But mostly they're annoying. And creepy.

the idea of "just browse the web normally with someone looking over your shoulder taking notes on what you like to then sell you shit - or even better, it infers what you like using magic and can even tell when you're pregnant before you know it yourself" can be nice in some ways I guess, but yeah I agree. no thanks.

And even if you do boycott Sony, that'll discount entire market segments and almost entire content niches as I just mentioned.

empress is a man larping as a woman, he's voski in disguise.
