Backdoors to Windows: Stupidity or conspiracy?
grif_mcrenolds:
We all know there's a bunch of backdoors into Windows that hackers can take advantage of and screw you up bad. The first thing that comes to mind is that Microsoft's coders have gotten rusty, bery rusty, and the backdoors are unintentional. These backdoors are like the .NET BS where some asshole can take your credit card number or steal your identity.
BUT here's a theory: Maybe M$ codec those security holes on purpose. Why?

Because there's alot of guys like M$/Hollywood/Recording studios who wanna know what you've got on you harddrive, and then lock you up if it belongs to them somehow. Maybe M$ codec those backdoors to allow these assholes to check up on you real easy - without having to actually get off their fat asses and learn some real hacking skills. And then Microsoft get a bit less heat from their scandals.

What's next ? Temporary deafness to stop you hearing music ? Temporary blindness to stop you watching a movie ? This is madness. It won't pass anyway.

This has further reaches than you imply -- consider the TCPA / Palladium / DRM OS push; this effectively gives a braod catagory of companies (entertainment providers) the right to enter and disable your computer with no worry of retribution... Fisk Attaway was mentioned in the article.... you do the math.
I'm putting up an anti-tcpa site today; i've been toying with it for a while... it's nothing special yet, just a few links.... lemme know what you think of it....
I'm also considering putting together an informal association of people who are willing to see this thing die.... but i have no idea how to get started.
anyway, later...

you should get a .tk domain to forward to your site www.dot.tk

that does make sense. owell, somebody has to make a controversia out of this shit, like get sent to court and whip your dick out and tell rosen to suck it and to shove the dmca up her ass, and that while there at it, go down to dc and piss on the constitition
it wouldn't get you anything but locked up, but it would bring public awarness up, but probably in the wrong way
