Decryption and Internet Anarchy

I've never seen such a mass rebellion against DRM. The decryption code for high definition DVDs (HD DVD & Blu-Ray) is everywhere. It's not something you have to seek out for any period of time. It's almost difficult to avoid. In fact, some guy on YouTube posted a video of himself singing the code. While I can't see the film industry thriving if there was a mass movement of DVD copying, this is more of an issue of Freedom of Speech. The Internet generation has proved that ubiquitous censorship of anything is impossible. And it's waste of time, energy, and money, unless the U.S. government forces individuals to obtain licenses to create websites, totally restructuring the medium. That'll never happen, so why try and fight the publication of information? Like I've said before, if you're going to fight anything, fight the creation of this information. It's not ideal, but it's more in line with democracy and law.

I think it's amazing to see how the Internet has truly overpowered the powers that be. It's become a sort of organized anarchy (kind of an oxymoron, I know), and there's beauty in its consequences.
