More a waste of *your* time.

I’ve had numerous of these requests for DVD, general CD authoring and
ditto for PDF authoring/publication which can be implemented using
Adobe solutions or 3rd party tools.  All are (relatively) expensive
and are highly intrusive/restrictive to the end user and therefore not
a good solution from the…

Hi Dean,

Well water can now be made “not wet”...but is it still water?? I said
that.

That is the problem with any protection that so totally changes the
media that it is cantankerous or unfriendly to legal users.

Nothing.

This question almost always comes to me from micro-publishers.  I give
them my usual speech;

15% of people will always steal
15 will never steal
The battle is for the hearts and minds f the other 70%

Seems like a reasonable suggestion, as DVD-9 replication isn’t much

I was burned last year when I tried to have some DVD’s made of a
short film that I did.  I got 100 or so discs made at a duplication
company in Arizona.  The discs skipped all over the place and almost no
one I gave them to could play them.  I complained and the company
reprinted them, but the new discs seem to be almost as bad.

DVD-R’s, but this was…

And, personally, I verify ANY data copied over the USB port to any device if it’s critical data.  USB copies can result in corrupted data occasionally, so the data should always be verified.  I would verify a USB transfer before I’d verify a DLT tape write… I’ve never had a bad tape write (that finished, anyway… I’ve had…
