Linus Torvalds blesses DRM, and nothing happens | |
|
||
| Time: 07:01 EST/12:01 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Last week Linus Torvalds said share denial technology, or DRM (Digital Rights Management) is OK. He did so on a linux kernel mailing list and so anticipating the reaction, with the Subject line: Flame Linus to a crisp!, he wrote: "I'm going to just hunker down for some really impressive extended flaming, and my asbestos underwear is firmly in place, and extremely uncomfortable." Linus added: "The technology itself is pretty neutral, and I'm personally pretty optimistic." | ||

| Well at least it's consistent with their other arguments. |

| Jeez, you'd think it was Jesus Christ himself who said it. But then, we all know that Register holds Linus is such high esteem. |

| #3 People's reactions to Linus endorsing something is similar to the reactions in here when Bill Gates or Microsoft in general endorse something, "Oooh wow, aren't they innovative", "How brilliant", "Microsoft are the best", "We love competition..... except we'll proceed to spread FUD about it whilst at the same time promoting whatever Microsoft is doing". |

#6 - "whatever your rabid slashdoter might say"
You do realize that those rabid slashdotters make up the vast majority of Linux users, don't you? Kind of makes the rest of your post a moot point. |

cba-3.14 - I vote we just ignore Linux because it's irrelevant to modern computing. This post was edited by sodablue on Monday, May 05, 2003 at 23:59. |

| If we ban zealots, we should ban fools (Steven123) as well. |

| #11 You're kidding yourself if you honestly think that certain people are "just pretending". A zealot is a zealot, regardless of which side of the fence they sit on. |
