Journal GQuon's Journal: Swedish ISP, on national television, promotes DRM

I watched a Swedish news report on how some Swedish ISPs -- Bahnhof Internet among them (One of the servers was physically located at their premises, if I have the facts straight.) -- was raided by the police after a court order obtained by music industry representatives.

OK, no problem with that. Sue the uploaders and "sharers" just as you can.

Then one of the employees gets interviewed. He says "Oh, the record industry should't target us. They should encrypt their material better..."

What?

Thanks a lot, you dolt. Go on national TV and push for unplayable CDs and movies that can't be watched on my Linux box. Thanks a lot.

I screamed at the TV. I really did.

I think I'll send them one of those "You're promoting a
(x) technical
( ) social
( ) legal
solution to copyright infringement"

but not while I'm upset. I try to avoid flaming.
