Maybe this story was edited? I don’t see that statement in your text that I commented on, having to do with China not having heard about the reputation of Safenet.

I felt that China would not care in any way what we felt about restrictive practices, considering their track record. I also mentioned the recent Rolling Stone article detailing China’s growing and wide-reaching surveillance program.

^^ What was it? I may have deleted it accidentally. I seem to be getting more and more hand-delivered spam, and posts which try to look like posts but which are actually links to other sites.

Please post it again and if I dump it, I’ll tell you why.

Cheers!

I see that the statement that I posted here yesterday is gone. I wonder why?

The irony is that this is basically an admission of censorship my their company, when the only valuable customers they can attract are countries directly against individual freedom.

“Hopefully all these music parasites will emigrate to crappy countries such as China where they belong.

But I believe that China is already to good for them. Let me recomand them Miramar or North Korea!”

Starting with trolls like you, next come the CEOs of the Big Four, and of course all the anti-piracy
companies. And why not also add BREIN, CRIA, RIAA, MPAA, MPA, IFPI, BPI, ARIA, and so on.

^^ Is MediaSentry licensed to conduct investigations in China?

Excellent question

Cheers!

Wow – there’s so much wrong with that – for God’s sake get a thought of your own.

Olympics will be televised around the world – what’s the point of MediaSentry securing the online portion? Maybe I’m missing something, but locking down a small piece of the event while free-airing around the world most of the same content seems more like a political showing than a practical exercise.

If they do for China what they have done for the music labels, free speech will soon be a certain thing in China

I still am willing to bet some DRM-free versions will make it past SafeNet’s DRM solution. The only question involved is “how fast?”
