Here it is, the DRM gauntlet has been thrown down…It makes me giggle. These
people have never met a lawyer.
Closing letter to
the Copyright Industry Associations of America
from
the Digital DouwdAttention:
Mark today on your calendar! They will need it for your obituary. Today is
the day our future began and your future ended.For three years now you have pursued your lawsuit campaign. Twenty thousand
plus consumers, a dozen companies, and several very prominent friends of ours
have fallen victim to your charade. We hoped you would see the obvious
foolishness of your ways. Now, however, it appears clear that your shenanigans
have gone on too longóYou have begun deposing bereaved families of the deceased.This can not stand. This will not stand. You will not stand. And from this
day forward, your manipulative copyright claims will have no standing.Today is the day we end all of your problems with consumer copyright
infringement. For from today forward, consumers have no need for copies,
infringing or otherwise. One common copy is all that is needed. One copy for
everyone. Accessible forever.Today we announce a massively distributed copy-less file system. A place
where all content is available instantly, anonymously and to everyone, without
breaking any laws. Today we announce the Owner-Free File System. An island
of sanity in your sea of madness.Feel free to monitor OFFís communications. Youíll find no copying. Subpoena a
few servers. Youíll find nothing that belongs to you. Only bits of randomness.
This new internet infrastructure is truly a place without ownership. Nobody owns
the OFF System. Nobody owns bits of randomness collected in the OFF System.
There is beauty in randomness. As with all things beautiful, randomnessí value
lies in the eye of the beholder. There is no intrinsic meaning in randomness but
an infinite amount of extrinsic value. And behold that value we will.This is not a threat. This is not a negotiation. This is the futureóA future
with no one to sue.Adapt or die.
