Some hacks should not be posted!!

I am going to rant some now.

There is a deep division between customers (seen as the thieves) and producers (aided and abetted by Hollywood special interests) of multimedia content over the right to make personal copies of any content. If I can see it on my screen and hear it over my speakers, I have the right to capture that and view it later at my discretion. Not at the discretion of somebody else. I don't need their permission to view it when THEY say I am allowed to. This is all about digital rights management (DRM) being used to erode the legislated right of consumers provided by the copyright act.

Therefore it is totally legitimate to post information that allows the consumer to practice their rights. You know all about rights - use them or lose them - fight for them. We fought the bloody British for our rights. Don't let greedy corporations from Hollywood take one right away. Free speech is the right to post speech on a website. It must never be abridged.
- end of rant

I'm just another jacka$$ with an opinion, but I would think it would have to do with copyrighted material. Also, check out 10 Big Myths.
