Let it Ring!
WooHoo! Kevin Rose You are THE Man!
This is the most coolest thing to have happened on the internet since the internet itself. NEVER has the online community come as together and as closely knit in its entire history.
This is Web 2.0, This is Community, This is Sharing, This is No More DRM!

A few thoughts on why this is a milestone and the direction of where the internet and human kind itself is headed.
- People don’t like being told what they can and can’t do. Give them the tools and let them decide how they want to use it.
- Information moves at lightning speed. So don’t hide it, it will only get discovered as quickly and as easily the more you try to suppress it.
- There is always someone smarter than your coder, and they’ll show you that they are. Just that they will make you hurt more.
- Technology should be open source, not limited in usage anyway.
- Most people don’t like suits.
- This is just the beginning.
In all seriousness though, the more companies try to “protect” their intellectual rights the more somebody will prove to them that they are not as intelligent as they thought they were. If technology was freely available to everybody everywhere, the world would be a MUCH, MUCH better place and that word called piracy would be deleted from dictionaries everywhere.

Hello Ali!
incredible isn’t it!? I’m with you on the open source and I never imagined that DRM would be a thing of the past. the fact is that the more we try to control piracy the more it spreads…just like prohibition of alcohol.

Hey tisha, long time no say
yeah lets hope that this will make things more widely available to everybody and start a general movement on freeing up so called “intellectual property”.
what’s funny is that we teach our kids to share as much as possible from kindergarten all the way up to college and then as soon as they try to do that in the workforce they get slapped on the hand, why? because of money that’s why!
quite sad isn’t it.
