We have something very similar here in Croatia. Except that it's not just for DVDs but for any device capable of memory storage.

In Holland, there's an organization called BUMA, which fights for copyrights. They've taxed DVD-r(w)s and the money they earn from it goes straight to the people who have lost money due to piracy. This way, those people won't lose any money, as long as people actually use DVDs for pirated content.


.iso is so annoying... but I know that in holland DVD's are cheap, cheaper than in Belgium, I go to holland to buy like 1000 DVD-RWs because they are MUCH cheaper!

I have a little media player I got on Amazon for like $30 that plays videos on my TV directly from a USB storage device, SD card, etc. I used to convert and burn them to DVDs, but now I don't even do that.  So take that, stupid Holland tax.
I am done scripting for RMXP. I will likely not offer support for even my own scripts anymore, but feel free to ask on the forum, there are plenty of other talented scripters that can help you.

Indeed, but I like to have DVDs and CDs around and install them whenever you need them instead of all that mounting shit.

I bet Steam has helped way more in reducing piracy than say DCMA
OnLive is also an interesting prospect

That was posted on the 17th, following the blackout, most of SOPA and PIPA's support was lost, and they were shelved indefinitely.

SOPA is back and it's time to fuck it up again. Luckily we all know how to deal with undead zombies. Get your axes out!

The important thing is that we spread the message. Even though some of us might not be able to sign up and sign the petition, we can still spread the message so it reaches other people who can.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. SOPA/PIPA/ACTA (or whatever it calls itself now) is back. Let's put it back into the grave. After decades of zombie films, we know how to handle the undying.

These types of laws are a product of the mindset of the oldest 60-70% of the population.  SOPA and laws like it will not go away any time soon, and there is no possible 'quick win'.  The strategy that we have to utilize is to stall their damage for as long as possible until eventually, the mindset will change and we can overturn any remnants of their damage.

I'm starting to contemplate setting up my own private servers, connect with other people doing the same, and make our own little private network. Think Onion/Tor, but better. I just need to figure out the legalities and logistics of this, and cost of course...

Seriously though, does no one remember Benjamin Franklins quote: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Yep. That. A centuries old saying, that hits home right now. If we are to give up some of our own freedom/liberty to the government, in exchange for them saying we are safer for it, we are effectively opening the door to being trampled upon by both our own government, and our enemies.

what, beat the crap out if it with excessively brutal violence only to teabag the corpse as the final insult?

i'm surprised that the US is trying this crap again, don't they have anything better to do like i don't know, something about a debt ceiling being breached or the fact they've shut down the government? their almost like the RvB minions going "get the flag, get the flag, get the flag, get the flag, get the flag, get the flag" but are actully going "do SOPA, do PIPA, do ACTA, do SOPA, do PIPA, do ACTA", still, they may be doing this now cause everyone's learned that the NSA has been spying on everyone and now they need the powers to act on what they see
