This morning on CEP!
- I interview rising star YouTube gamer "Grand Captain Speedy Dash" (best gamer name ever)
- Yes, rather than watch TV shows, young people now watch each other play video games
- We discuss the upstart Amico console, inspired by Intellivision and Wii
- We then explain the DRM scandal and read excerpts from my forthcoming book!
- Any music, movies, or video games that are infected with DRM mean they're completely dependent on their creators, and can be rendered useless at any time.
- Since it can never prevent piracy, logically, it can only punish those who were trying to do the right thing and support the authors.
- The Captain brings up two great quotes from Gabe Newell, founder of Steam:
- "Privacy is not a pricing problem, it's a service problem."
- "Does nothing, still wins." pointing out that doing nothing is sometimes the right thing to do!
- So what's the answer to DRM? We explore some of the solutions that will help make life easier for those trying to do the right thing.
- Finally, we discuss Denuvo, a DRM company whose technology is repeatedly bypased very easily. It is an excellent example that highlights the utter futility of it.
Thanks for listening and grab a preview edition of the book at TheComputerExorcist.com !
