Stopping MP3 format
Well, its a story we'ev all heard about in recent history (since the downfall of Napster.) But this time, MSN is displaying the article (which means its almost old news.) Heres an article I saw on their webpage that talks about scrambling CDs to where they can not be played in computers. Enjoy

"If one more body-kitted, cut-spring-lowered, farty-exhausted Civic revs on me at an intersection, I swear I'm going to get out of my car and cram their ridiculous double-decker aluminium wing firmly up their rump."
Check out this thread dealing with sajme topic. Also a link t a better article about the encryption technology.

i liked Sony's idea on dealing with the issue. Play a tune high enough to blow the speakers. I saw that somewhere. Anyways, i know there was a group out there that has cracked one of the methods. im not going to worry about companies doing this because there will always be a way around it. just take a look at dvd's. they were supposed to be impossible to copy, yet it only took 2 line of code to do it!

I think anyone/company with the idea of any storage media being "100% hacker proof" is living in their own little fantasy land.
These things are made to be broken....
Project - GAME OVER :(
lol....when will they ever learn...They are just giving hacker more fun stuff to do. First off anything made by humans is not perfect, thus can be hacked.

Guys..
The scrambled cd is already hacked.
A 'local' company wrote some kind of program which is able to read the cd in a cd-rom drive..
They mentioned the following:
As a person pays like $20 for the cd, but he isn't able to listen it on the computer..
So they wrote a program.. (i'll see if i can dig it up) which is able to read the cd in the cd-rom drive....
It's just a piece of software by MacroVision guys... Every thing they have made so far is hacked, and will be in the future
* the cd I'm talking about was Volumnia! - Puur a dutch one.
