139 Grand Captain Speedy Dash

139 Grand Captain Speedy Dash

This morning on CEP!

  • I interview rising star YouTube gamer "Grand Captain Speedy Dash" (best gamer name ever)
  • Yes, rather than watch TV shows, young people now watch each other play video games
  • We discuss the upstart Amico console, inspired by Intellivision and Wii
  • We then explain the DRM scandal and read excerpts from my forthcoming book!
  • Any music, movies, or video games that are infected with DRM mean they're completely dependent on their creators, and can be rendered useless at any time.
  • Since it can never prevent piracy, logically, it can only punish those who were trying to do the right thing and support the authors.
  • The Captain brings up two great quotes from Gabe Newell, founder of Steam:
  • "Privacy is not a pricing problem, it's a service problem."
  • "Does nothing, still wins." pointing out that doing nothing is sometimes the right thing to do!
  • So what's the answer to DRM? We explore some of the solutions that will help make life easier for those trying to do the right thing.
  • Finally, we discuss Denuvo, a DRM company whose technology is repeatedly bypased very easily. It is an excellent example that highlights the utter futility of it.

Thanks for listening and grab a preview edition of the book at TheComputerExorcist.com !
