"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If you do not break the encryption, the data is fully useless.
Breaking the encryption is illegal.

I don't know why anything but those two facts would matter at all.

The first one. The "useless" part. ISOs can be used extremely easily.

Yes, by ~~decrypting~~ breaking the encryption on them, which is breaking the law. You know, the thing you said wasn't true? Pointlessly spinning this up into an argument that makes no sense to have.

Decryption isn't illegal. Bypassing encryption without a license is illegal. There's a difference.
When you play a DVD you're decrypting it using a licensed piece of hardware. Windows and Mac both have dvd playback licences (or they did, it looks like Windows now charges extra). A fair bit of software either comes with a license or technically requires you to buy one.

Specifically the portion on commercial or broadcast usage.

You will need to contact the licensor on how to comply with these licenses. This goes for playing a DVD with VLC for your personal enjoyment ($2.50 one time payment to MPEG LA) as well as for using VLC for streaming a live event in MPEG-4 over the Internet.

When I said "decrypt" I simply meant "break the encryption". Which colloquially were used interchangeably back when this topic mattered a lot more. I guess the software I used called "DVDDecrypter" was probably made by idiots according to you, because that wasn't specific enough. Clearly such a name could imply that it was a DVD player and not a ripper. lol
