Capcom is seemingly at "war" with modders. The video game company is using a new DRM package to seemingly make modding much more difficult for games such as Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil. As a result, gamers are downvoting affected games to oblivion on Steam. Is Capcom in the right, or are they going to give themselves a bigger PR black eye by cracking down on mods? ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishGaming.net Additional Context: Capcom, the video game giant known for hits like "Street Fighter" and "Resident Evil," has recently ignited a firestorm in the gaming community by implementing a new Digital Rights Management (DRM) software, Enigma Protector, in several of its PC titles. This move appears to be part of Capcom's broader strategy to combat modding, which they have previously expressed concerns about, particularly regarding mods that are deemed offensive or could damage the company's reputation. The controversy began when Capcom issued an unannounced update to the 2013 game "Resident Evil Revelations" on Steam. Gamers quickly discovered that this update included the Enigma Protector DRM, which is designed to prevent illegal copying, hacking, and modification of game files. However, this DRM implementation led to several issues, including frame rate drops, random crashes, and broken graphical options, negatively impacting the game's performance and playability. Although Capcom later retracted the update due to these problems, stating they would re-release it once the issue is resolved, the damage had already been done. This incident sparked a wave of backlash from the gaming community, with many gamers review bombing "Resident Evil Revelations" on Steam, resulting in a significant drop in the game's rating. Further investigation revealed that "Resident Evil Revelations" was not the only game affected. Other titles in Capcom's catalog, including "Capcom Arcade Stadium," "Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium," "Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection," "Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection," "Resident Evil 5," "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection," and "Strider (2014)," have also received updates that include the Enigma Protector DRM. This development has raised questions about Capcom's stance on modding. In October 2023, during Capcom's Open Conference Professional RE:2023, company programmer Taro Yahagi stated that "all mods are defined as cheats, except when they are officially supported," implying a strong anti-modding position. He mentioned that while many mods positively impact games, some can harm the company's reputation and be mistaken for legitimate game features. However, it's worth noting that there are differing opinions on the impact of the Enigma DRM on game performance and modding. A prominent Resident Evil modder, known as FluffyQuack, has stated that the claims about Enigma causing performance issues and blocking mods are "nonsense." FluffyQuack pointed out that Enigma has been used in other Capcom games, like "Resident Evil 5" and "Street Fighter 6," without reported performance issues or significant glitches. This modder believes that Capcom's use of DRM is more about combating piracy and cheating rather than specifically targeting modding. Capcom's recent actions regarding DRM implementation have sparked a heated debate in the gaming community. While the company aims to protect its intellectual property and maintain the integrity of its games, its approach has led to dissatisfaction among gamers and modders. This controversy highlights the delicate balance between protecting digital rights and preserving the gaming community's creative freedom.

In this final bonus Walled Culture podcast episode - recorded mid-2022 and kept under wraps as a special 1st anniversary episode, we welcome Fred von Lohmann, former Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Google copyright counsel. Our conversation starts with recalling how he got intrigued by copyright, crediting John Perry Barlow, and explaining how he was at the right juncture to become a tech enthusiast. Fred talks about his role at EFF during what was a unique time from a copyright perspective, characterised by pivotal court cases in the 2000s. He looks back at the impact and effects of the rights holders' battle against peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. Their fierce resistance against anything related to P2P, in his view, crippled the potential transition towards a decentralised Internet back then. He did see one silver lining from the aftermath: the P2P revolution opened music fans' eyes to what could be, pressuring the music industry to start meeting consumers' demand. Fred highlights the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's (DMCA) (invisible) role in shaping our daily lives. On the one hand, the DMCA gave a legal justification to rights holders' control over technology beyond the copyright realm by providing legal protections for Digital Rights Management (DRM). This has impacted various types of content, be it (now old-school) DVDs, eBooks or games. On the other, the DMCA boosted the Internet's success through the safe harbour regime, offering a shelter from the ‘open sea' with hurricanes of lawsuits. The latter troubled rights holders, leading Fred to discuss the emergence of (imperfect) copyright filters. In this context, he touches upon Google's Content ID, rights holder abuses, and the EU Copyright Directive's questionable filtering obligations. He puts forward a crucial, yet unanswered, question in this debate: “how do you build filters that are fair to users and also don't constrict creativity too much?” Finally, Fred briefly shares his insights on how copyright intersects with competition and innovation, especially in the context of software interfaces. In his closing remarks, he echoes some of Cory Doctorow's wisdom, as he emphasises the need to think about copyright's impact on fans and innovators.
Unity, the game engine wizard behind masterpieces like Rust and Pokémon Go, has dropped a bombshell on the developer community. On September 12, Unity unveiled the Runtime Fee, sending shockwaves through the indie developer universe and sparking a myriad of questions. Starting January 1, 2024, Unity will impose a fee based on the number of game installations and its revenue. For Unity Personal and Unity Plus, the thresholds are set at $200,000 annual revenue and 200,000 installs. Meanwhile, games developed on Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise must garner $1 million and hit 1 million installs before the fees apply. The structure is as follows: Unity Personal and Plus: $0.20 per additional install. Unity Pro: $0.02 to $0.15 per additional install. Unity Enterprise: $0.01 to $0.125 per additional install. Developers were left scratching their heads, with many worried about potential financial implications, especially for free-to-play and charity games. Garry Newman of Rust fame voiced concerns, fearing a monthly payment of $200,000 to Unity. The crux of his worry? Trusting Unity's tracking and the audacity of the unilateral fee imposition. https://x.com/garrynewman/status/1701584142570336701?s=20 Indie developers find themselves in a bind. Many, midway into their game development journey, now fear the uncertainty Unity's decision has brought. The concern isn't just about the added costs but the intricacies of measuring installs, potential privacy concerns, and possible impositions of Digital Rights Management (DRM) to track installs. Brandon Sheffield, Creative Director at Necrosoft Games, minced no words in his disdain for Unity's decision, advising developers to steer clear of the platform. https://x.com/necrosofty/status/1701294283331084733?s=20 Unity has been on a roll with changes lately. The company is set to phase out Unity Plus subscriptions, and members will be shifted to its Pro subscription next month. While Unity's innovation in AI integration, like Unity Muse and Unity Sentis, has been lauded, the new Runtime Fee has left many developers wary. The announcement has, predictably, had financial implications for Unity. Their market shares plummeted soon after the revelation. Whether Unity stands firm on its decision or bends to developer feedback is yet to be seen. In a swift response to the negative backlash, Unity attempted to clear the air with an FAQ post. The definition of an “install” was clarified, as was the company's decision to charge for reinstalls. While Unity reassures charity games and bundles will remain unaffected, developers remain skeptical. The potential aftermath of this decision, including ‘revenue bombing' by antagonized user groups, is yet to fully unfold. Talks of a class-action lawsuit against Unity are already in the works, painting a grim picture for the game engine giant. What do you think about these changes and their potential impact on gaming?

Glyn Moody has been writing about copyright, digital rights, and the Internet for 30 years. He is the editor of the Walled Culture project and author of Walled Culture - the Book (freely available as ebook). He previously wrote ‘Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution'. He explains how the Walled Culture project is a reflection on digital copyright going wrong, and how copyright and the Internet have shown to be fundamentally incompatible. Glyn highlights how there's no escaping copyright in an online world. He shares some copyright absurdities, with big content fighting the visually impaired and initiatives like Project Gutenberg and Google Books. He talks about how Big Content put on shackles on libraries thanks to Digital Rights Management (DRM), and reflects on the injustice of the Big Publishers' suing the Internet Archive. Glyn points out how Big Academic Publishers hijacked the shift towards open access to benefit their bottom line, while pointing out that diamond open access shows that we can move away from the academic publishing business. He recalls how Big Record Labels went on a rampage, suing grandmothers and children, neglecting the opportunity to give consumers what they wanted. Glyn describes Big Content's push for copyright enforcement, from the French three strikes mechanism to the SOPA and ACTA battles, while emphasising how copyright laws got skewed towards Big Content. He talks about the failures surrounding the EU Copyright Directive and the looming dangers of upload filters. He further highlights how copyright no longer promotes culture but harms it, and how it's about protecting Big Content, not creators. Glyn concludes by reflecting on a possible way forward: building on creators' true fans.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a software or hardware mechanism that restricts what you can do with your digital media. It may limit a movie from playing without your authenticated credentials, or stop a Nintendo cartridge from working in a third-party console. While DRM was created to limit piracy, it also may limit what you can do with your purchases. In this episode we discuss DRM from legal, technological, and consumer perspectives.

Welcome to digital publishing’s present!The second in a 3-part mini-series, this episode explores the last 10 years of digital publishing and what’s going on in today’s publishing landscape. Four key trends are discussed: Digital Rights Management (DRM), software for digital publishing (namely, Adobe InDesign CC), self-publishing and publishing in a pandemic.
Sebastiaan van der Lans, founder of WordProof, the startup using blockchain to authenticate content on the internet, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim.In this conversation, they talk about How to Fix Fake News? Players in the Internet content industry, Emerging challenges (Digital Rights Management-DRM, interoperability, fake news, copyright infringement/protection, trust on the internet). Potential solutions (watermarking, DRM schemes, open source, blockchain, timestamping, Schema.org, search engine content authenticity validation). Emerging use cases. Disruptive forces (tech, regulation, biz modes, social dynamics). Future of the Internet (how to get out of the mess, perspectives on the next decade).The takeaway is that fixing fake news will mean needing to adapt each of the disruptive forces, technological, regulatory, business-model related, and social fixes.

Speakers: Parker Lees & Gerardo Amaya How Blockchain is empowering content creators and transforming Digital Rights Management (DRM)
In this week’s show, we go overboard with chit-chat, then respond to some great questions from William, who is fairly new to the show but is working his way through the entire catalog of podcasts. We cover things like writing technology, Digital Rights Management (DRM) and multiple viewpoints on the same storyline. Thanks so much […] The post TSS135: Taylor Finishes a Project, Listener Questions and WAY Too Much Chit Chat appeared first on The Taylor Stevens Show.
If you consume digital media, chances are you have encountered DRM in the past. Join Ian R Buck, Ryan Rampersad, and Brian Mitchell as they discuss why it exists, the many forms it can take, and the problems it introduces.
This week on BSDNow! We've got Netflix + FreeBSD news to discuss, always a crowd pleaser, that plus EuroBSDCon is just around the corner. Stick around for your place This episode was brought to you by Headlines Protecting Netflix Viewing Privacy at Scale, with FreeBSD (http://techblog.netflix.com/search/label/FreeBSD) This blog post from Netflix tells the story of how Netflix developed in-kernel TLS to speed up delivery of video via HTTPS Since the beginning of the Open Connect program we have significantly increased the efficiency of our OCAs - from delivering 8 Gbps of throughput from a single server in 2012 to over 90 Gbps from a single server in 2016. We contribute to this effort on the software side by optimizing every aspect of the software for our unique use case - in particular, focusing on the open source FreeBSD operating system and the NGINX web server that run on the OCAs. In the modern internet world, we have to focus not only on efficiency, but also security. There are many state-of-the-art security mechanisms in place at Netflix, including Transport Level Security (TLS) encryption of customer information, search queries, and other confidential data. We have always relied on pre-encoded Digital Rights Management (DRM) to secure our video streams. Over the past year, we've begun to use Secure HTTP (HTTP over TLS or HTTPS) to encrypt the transport of the video content as well. This helps protect member privacy, particularly when the network is insecure - ensuring that our members are safe from eavesdropping by anyone who might want to record their viewing habits. The goal is to ensure that your government, ISP, and wifi sniffing neighbour cannot tell which Netflix videos you are watching Netflix Open Connect serves over 125 million hours of content per day, all around the world. Given our scale, adding the overhead of TLS encryption calculations to our video stream transport had the potential to greatly reduce the efficiency of our global infrastructure. We evaluated available and applicable ciphers and decided to primarily use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher in Galois/Counter Mode (GCM), available starting in TLS 1.2. We chose AES-GCM over the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) method, which comes at a higher computational cost. The AES-GCM cipher algorithm encrypts and authenticates the message simultaneously - as opposed to AES-CBC, which requires an additional pass over the data to generate keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC). CBC can still be used as a fallback for clients that cannot support the preferred method. All revisions of Open Connect Appliances also have Intel CPUs that support AES-NI, the extension to the x86 instruction set designed to improve encryption and decryption performance. We needed to determine the best implementation of AES-GCM with the AES-NI instruction set, so we investigated alternatives to OpenSSL, including BoringSSL and the Intel Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library (ISA-L). Netflix and NGINX had previously worked together to improve our HTTP client request and response time via the use of sendfile calls to perform a zero-copy data flow from storage (HDD or SSD) to network socket, keeping the data in the kernel memory address space and relieving some of the CPU burden. The Netflix team specifically added the ability to make the sendfile calls asynchronous - further reducing the data path and enabling more simultaneous connections. However, TLS functionality, which requires the data to be passed to the application layer, was incompatible with the sendfile approach. To retain the benefits of the sendfile model while adding TLS functionality, we designed a hybrid TLS scheme whereby session management stays in the application space, but the bulk encryption is inserted into the sendfile data pipeline in the kernel. This extends sendfile to support encrypting data for TLS/SSL connections. We tested the BoringSSL and ISA-L AES-GCM implementations with our sendfile improvements against a baseline of OpenSSL (with no sendfile changes), under typical Netflix traffic conditions on three different OCA hardware types. Our changes in both the BoringSSL and ISA-L test situations significantly increased both CPU utilization and bandwidth over baseline - increasing performance by up to 30%, depending on the OCA hardware version. We chose the ISA-L cipher implementation, which had slightly better results. With these improvements in place, we can continue the process of adding TLS to our video streams for clients that support it, without suffering prohibitive performance hits. If you would like more detail, check out the papers from AsiaBSDCon 2015 (https://people.freebsd.org/~rrs/asiabsd_2015_tls.pdf) and the updated one from 2016 (https://people.freebsd.org/~rrs/asiabsd_tls_improved.pdf) *** OpenBSD on HP Stream 7 (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/OpenBSD-on-HP-Stream-7) Recent events have rocked the mobile computing world to its core. OpenBSD retired the zaurus port, leaving users in desperate need of a new device. And not long before that, Microsoft released the Anniversary Update to Windows 10, but with free space requirements such that it's nigh impossible to install on cheap 32GB eMMC equipped devices such as the HP Stream series, leaving users searching for a new lightweight operating system. With necessity as both mother and father, the scene is set for a truly epic pairing. OpenBSD on the HP Stream 7. The HP Stream line is a series of budget computers in a couple form factors. The Stream 11 is a fairly typical netbook. However, the Stream 7 and 8 are tablets. They look like cheap Android devices, but inside the case, they're real boys, er PCs, with Intel Atom CPUs. To install OpenBSD on such a device, we need a few parts. Obviously, the tablet itself. There's a dearth of ports on these things, but there is a micro USB port. Attaching anything useful requires an OTG “on the go” cable that creates a type A port. Attaching more than one useful thing requires a mini hub. And completing the install requires one each USB stick, keyboard, and network adapter. First, we need to prep the machine to boot from USB. Actually, before doing anything, make sure you have a full charge. It's going to be battery only from here on out. Plug everything in. Flash drive, keyboard, and network into the hub, hub into the OTG cable, cable into the port on top of the Stream. Turn on the machine while holding the volume down button. This launches a mini menu from which we can enter the BIOS. There's a little on screen keyboard in the corner, so this can be done even without a keyboard attached, but the USB keyboard should work. We need to change two settings in the boot section. First, turn off secure boot. Second, switch boot order to prefer USB. Save and exit. The first reboot reveals a confirmation screen checking that we really want to disable secure boot. We must enter a PIN and press enter. Enter the PIN shown on the screen and press enter. And we are go. Then boot up OpenBSD from the USB drive Ted then works there a number of kernel panics and device driver issues, but after disabling ACPI and IntelDRM, the device boots OpenBSD. Of course, there's no X at this point. And definitely no touch screen. And no internal networking. However, by keeping our USB hub attached, we can drive the console and access the network. At least until the battery is depleted, even if we have no way of knowing how long that will be since we disabled all the ACPI devices, which also means no suspend or resume. With some xorg.conf hacking, he did get Xorg working *** DragonflyBSD steps towards base LibreSSL (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/commits/2016-September/624493.html) Project: DragonFlyBSD / Switch base to use private LibreSSL libraries (http://freshbsd.org/commit/dfbsd/304ca408000cd34559ef5319b4b5a6766d6eb35b) DragonFly BSD adopts uses of LibreSSL (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911231651) The number of projects beginning to switch over to LibreSSL is growing and it appears we can now throw DragonFly into that camp. Following something that sounds vaguely familiar (Allan!) DFLY is now creating “private” LibreSSL libraries which are only linked against by base system binaries. For the moment OpenSSL is still built, primarily so that various ports and 3rd party apps can continue to function as before. A NO_OPENSSL option has also been added, but doesn't really do much (yet), since it'll still build and install headers / libraries even if set. *** OpenBSD g2k16 Hackathon g2k16 Hackathon Report: Antoine Jacoutot on Binary Patches (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911012316) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Matthieu Herrb on xenodm (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911231712) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Vincent Gross on iked(8), armv7 and sys/netinet[6] (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911000337) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Florian Obser on httpd, networking, acme-client, and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160911000052) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse on ddb(4) and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160909012520) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Christian Weisgerber on gettext progress, RTC work, removing kernel cruft (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160908002430) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Brent Cook on Chromebooks, crypto, and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160907131655) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Ted Unangst on doas, signify, code removal (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160906230610) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Marc Espie on package signing evolution (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160905235911) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Adam Wolk on ports, wireless drivers and more (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160906004915) g2k16 Hackathon Report: Mike Larkin on vmm + vmd progress (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160905134009&mode=expanded) *** News Roundup OpenBSD (with encrypted softraid) on the Chromebook Pixel (https://jcs.org/notaweblog/2016/08/26/openbsd_chromebook/) Looking for a Laptop to make your OpenBSD road-warrior? If so, we have a great blog tutorial on getting OpenBSD setup on the Chromebook Pixel with encrypted softraid! Author Joshua Stein gives us a very verbose look at how to install and dial-in the laptop perfectly. But first for those wondering about the hardware in the pixel: The Chromebook Pixel LS (2015) has an Intel Core i7 processor (Broadwell) at 2.4Ghz, 16Gb of RAM, a 2560x1700 400-nit IPS screen (239ppi), and Intel 802.11ac wireless. It has a Kingston 64Gib flash chip, of which about 54Gib can be used by OpenBSD when dual-booting with a 1Gb Chrome OS partition. Due to this being a chromebook with seaBIOS, some manual key-press trickery will be required to initially get the OpenBSD Installer up and running. From here you'll want to pay special close attention to the disk partitioning. In particular Joshua will show us how to shrink the existing encrypted /home that ChromeOS uses, keeping the dual-boot intact. This will become important if you ever plan on updating the device. From here, we move back to a more traditional setup, but with the added bonus of doing a soft-raid setup. But the fun isn't over yet! If you want to make OpenBSD the default boot, that'll require cracking the lid on the device and removing a special pink write-protect screw. And of course if you want to remove the default splash-screen image, Joshua has you covered as well, although some flashrom magic will be required. At this point you are nearly done. Final details on enabling specific bits of hardware are discussed. Most things work, apart from Audio and Bluetooth as of right now. *** doas mastery (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/doas-mastery) “doas” mastery - Paging MWL! Our buddy Ted Unangst has written up a great ‘mastery' guide of the doas command, which can come in handy if you are among the un-initiated in doas land. UNIX systems have two classes of user, the super user and regular users. The super user is super, and everybody else is not. This concentration of power keeps things simple, but also means that often too much power is granted. Usually we only need super user powers to perform one task. We would rather not have such power all the time. Think of the responsibility that would entail! Like the sudo command, doas allows for subdivision of super user privileges, granting them only for specific tasks. He starts with the basic doas.conf setup, which starts with an empty config file The doas config is much like a pf ruleset, the default is to block everything > We add the root rule second because doas evaluates rules in a last match manner. root is in the wheel group, so the first rule will match, and then we need to override that with a second rule. Remember to always start with general rules, then make them more specific. *** iXsystems iXsystems to host MeetBSD (https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/ixsystems-host-meetbsd-california-2016-uc-berkeley/) FreeBSD Foundation Welcomes New Board Members New Board Members (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/freebsd-foundation-welcomes-new-board-members/) The FreeBSD Foundation has added two new board members Interview with Kylie Liang (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/new-board-member-interview-kylie-liang/) Kylie will focus on representing FreeBSD at conferences and businesses in China I live in China. There, I can act as a bridge between Chinese companies and the FreeBSD community to help drive FreeBSD adoption. Through my leadership role in the FreeBSD Foundation, I will help promote FreeBSD in China and also represent the Foundation at conferences and events in my region. Kylie leads the team the ensures FreeBSD runs well on Hyper-V and Azure, including providing commercial support for customers who run FreeBSD or FreeBSD based appliances on the Azure Cloud I joined Microsoft and started to lead the project called FreeBSD Integration Service to get FreeBSD running well on Hyper-V and Azure. To promote our work and to understand the FreeBSD ecosystem, I started to participate in FreeBSD events where I was inspired by this technical community. Interview with Philip Paeps (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/new-board-member-interview-philip-paeps/) Philip started with FreeBSD in the early 2000s and got his commit bit in 2004 The patches I submitted to make ACPI and input devices work on that laptop led to a src commit bit in 2004. While I haven't worked on ACPI or input devices since, I have been contributing to different areas of the kernel. Taking up maintainership of some ports I cared about also got me a ports commit bit after some time. Philip will continue to help run EuroBSDCon, but is also spreading the word about FreeBSD in India and Africa Primarily, I think I can be useful! I attend (and organize) a number of conferences around the world every year, particularly in regions that have a mostly “stealthy” FreeBSD community. While I clearly don't need to be on the FreeBSD Foundation board to advocate for FreeBSD, joining as a director will provide an additional asset when working in areas of the world where organizational affiliations are meaningful. Philip has also developed network drivers and various other bits and pieces, and has extensive experience working with and for hardware vendors and appliance vendors Despite intending to eventually contribute their code to the FreeBSD Project as open source, many hardware vendors still find it very difficult to engage directly with the FreeBSD development community. The Foundation helps bridge that gap and helps facilitate collaboration between commercial vendors and the FreeBSD community. I hope to make FreeBSD more visible in regions of the world where it is historically under-represented. I expect I will be attending even more conferences and getting myself invited to even more organizations. more, less, and a story of typical Unix fossilization (https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/MoreAndUnixFossilization) Chris Siebenmann from the University of Toronto digs into the history of the difference between ‘less' and ‘more' In the beginning, by which we mean V7, Unix didn't have a pager at all. That was okay; Unix wasn't very visual in those days, partly because it was still sort of the era of the hard copy terminal. Then along came Berkeley and BSD. People at Berkeley were into CRT terminals, and so BSD Unix gave us things like vi and the first pager program, more (which showed up quite early, in 3BSD, although this isn't as early as vi, which appears in 2BSD). Calling a pager more is a little bit odd but it's a Unix type of name and from the beginning more prompted you with '--More--' at the bottom of the screen. All of the Unix vendors that based their work on BSD Unix (like Sun and DEC) naturally shipped versions of more along with the rest of the BSD programs, and so more spread around the BSD side of things. However, more was by no means the best pager ever; as you might expect, it was actually a bit primitive and lacking in features. So fairly early on Mark Nudelman wrote a pager with somewhat more features and it wound up being called less as somewhat of a joke. In a sane world, Unix vendors would have either replaced their version of more with the clearly superior less or at least updated their version of more to the 4.3 BSD version. Maybe less wouldn't have replaced more immediately, but certainly over say the next five years, when it kept on being better and most people kept preferring it when they had a choice.” + “This entire history has led to a series of vaguely absurd outcomes on various modern Unixes. On Solaris derivatives more is of course the traditional version with source code that can probably trace itself all the way back to 3BSD, carefully updated to SUS compliance. Solaris would never dream of changing what more is, not even if the replacement is better. Why, it might disturb someone. Oddly, FreeBSD has done the most sensible thing; they've outright replaced more with less. There is a /usr/bin/more but it's the same binary as less and as you can see the more manpage is just the less manpage. OpenBSD has done the same thing but has a specific manpage for more instead of just giving you the less manpage. So, now you can see why I say that less is more, or more, or both, at several levels. less is certainly more than more, and sometimes less literally is more (or rather more is less, to put it the right way around).

Cory Doctorow is a bestselling author of both science fiction and techno-sociological nonfiction, one of four editors of longtime popular weblog boingboing, and an activist and advocate for intellectual property rights, working extensively with the Electronic Freedom Foundation and others to put control of content back in the hands of the users like you and me. Photo credit: Jonathan Worth 2013 Today, we talk about the EFF's plan to defeat Digital Rights Management (DRM) as a business model of rent-seeking corporations. DRM is the set of digital locks on the content you buy--everything from eBooks to your car's computer have DRM embedded--and while it isn't impossible to break, it is highly illegal for you (or anyone) to do so. That means you don't have control of things that you bought. It also means that security flaws cannot always be researched or revealed. That's a big problem.

April 28th, 2007 - Show number 3 was lots of fun. We talked about Copy Protection and why it helps no one. We also shared a bit about ourselves. - Show Notes - Main Topic: Copy Protection – Otherwise known as Digital Rights Management (DRM), Copy Protection prevents consumers from using media they purchased in ways many people feel they should. It also fails to stop pirates from stealing the content, so really the media corporations are only hurting their customers. Chris from Phoenix, AZ called us to add his thoughts on DRM and how he had to "work around" a problem when a CD he had purchased wouldn't import properly into iTunes. Suzanna in Mesa is a musician who called in to give the perspective of copy protection from a content creator. Her music was pirated in Europe, and while she was upset that people were stealing her music she realized that there was no way to prevent it and used it to her advantage by referring to her music as being so good that people were willing to steal it. Support Calls: Mike in Gilbert, AZ called again. He had trouble visiting the website for AVG Antivirus that we mentioned last week. We provided the link again. As always, check these show notes for links, especially the long ones... Mike also asked about a program called System Mechanic 7 that we do not have experience with, but another listener, Gary, called in to inform us that based on his experiences System Mechanic 6 is good, but 7 slows down your computer more than it's worth. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, Gary! Pete chimed in to say that if you absolutely feel the need to use a registry cleaner he recommends Microsoft's free registry cleaner RegClean. Gary had a question about his high speed internet connection via cable that appeared to be faster on his old computer compared to his new one. As far as he could tell, the only difference was that the new computer was running Windows XP Service Pack 2. We were stumped as to why this would cause any problems other than maybe firewall issues, but recommended trying to see if the firewall was the issue. Most likely the problem is with the cable company not properly handling the bandwidth of customers in Gary's neighborhood. Pete recommended dslreports.com as a tool for checking his actual speed and comparing it to other people in his area. Chris from Phoenix, AZ had a question about data backups and whether optical media like CDs and DVDs have a high shelf life. We definitely recommend backing up your data, and CDs and DVDs are great for backing up data. Based on our personal experiences we have burned CDs that are over 10 years old and still working just fine. If the data is really important, though, there's nothing wrong with keeping multiple copies and making new backups periodically to ensure that a single hard drive crashing, a disc being unreadable, or a fire in your house will leave you without your important information.

Black Hat Briefings, Las Vegas 2006 [Video] Presentations from the security conference
Trusted computing is considered a dirty word by many due to its use for Digital Rights Management (DRM). There is a different side of trusted computing, however, that can solve problems information security professionals have been attempting to solve for more than three decades. Large scale deployment of trusted computing will fundamentally change the threat model we have been using for years when building operating systems, applications, and networks. This talk will examine the history of trusted computing and the current mindset of information security. From there, we will attempt to demystify the trusted computing architecture and give examples of where trusted computing is being used today. Then, we'll discuss how security constructs that we know an love today (such as firewalls and SSL transactions) fundamentally change when a trusted hardware component is added. Finally, new tools will be released to allow users to examine trusted components in their system. Bruce Potter is the founder of the Shmoo Group of security professionals, a group dedicated to working with the community on security, privacy, and crypto issues. His areas of expertise include wireless security, software assurance, pirate songs, and restoring hopeless vehicles. Mr. Potter has co-authored several books including "802.11 Security" and "Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security" published by O'Reilly and "Mac OS X Security" by New Riders. Mr. Potter was trained in computer science at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Bruce Potter is a Senior Associate with Booz Allen Hamilton."

Big media players are accustomed to watching the ratings for the most popular music video and book content but perhaps they should pay more attention to how consumers feel about three letters at the bottom of most charts -- DRM which stands for digital rights management. Broadly defined DRM encompasses multiple technologies that control the use of software music movies or any other piece of digital content. But media companies are risking a consumer backlash by deploying overzealous systems with draconian restrictions say experts at Wharton who also question whether DRM is worth the effort whether it will survive and what the best approach is for balancing the rights of consumers with the rights of content creators.

Sony's latest Digital Rights Management (DRM)-endeavour earned a charge of "fraud, false advertising, trespass and the violation of state and federal statutes prohibiting malware, and unauthorized computer tampering". The technology installs, unnoticed by the user, a piece of software that prevents consumers from unauthorised copying, is able to monitor and report user behaviour back to the firm and, accidentally, holds the door wide open for Trojans. Under other circumstances one would be tempted to describe such a strategy a hostile "spy at-tack". In case of Sony BMG, this seems to be part of a business model to sell digital music to consumers. The talk will have a closer look at the charges of the EFF and a Californian lawyer against Sony BMG's latest DRM strategy. The Sony BMG case adds a number of interesting new dimensions to the 'DRM and Consumer' debate. The talk will explain why the case is so important, also against the background of similar recent case law in Europe, and why it points into an entirely new direction of talking about DRM.
