Hard Drive Technology Protects Copyrighted Material

According to CMPTR.com, hard drive manufacturers are currently working on technology that would prevent computer users from holding copyrighted and illegal materials. The article reports that the drives would be assigned a unique identification number to a 1MB read-only keyblock, which would be used by other devices to retrieve information about the drive. With this a CD manufacturer could prevent the data from being copied to the users hard drive. The technology is currently being used in certain MP3 players, and will soon be encorporated into CD-ROM and CDRW drives. For more information read the article over at CMPTR.com
 
Simply boycott and ban the use of that particular manuf's drive and that will put a stop to it all.

Whomever doesnt launch that technology, will be the only HD companies making $$.
 
If the recording industry and movie industry grab Compaq and Delll by the balls, you can bet any boycotts by us endusers will be substantially thwarted by the immensity of OEM sales to AOL newbies.

Bring it on. I will make it my personal vendetta to create a means through software to bypass this copy prevention.
