Oh........gotta go!

I think the SEALs have landed in my backyard. I heard the choppers going over. Damn. I knew this wasn't REALLY the end of late fees. I should have returned this damn movie on time.

Not only do they keep track of rippers, but also they are coming after you for not returning their movies.

Gotta hide in the bomb shelter I had built!

There's only one way to get rid of this dreaded log file.

Get to your nearest command prompt and type FORMAT c:

That'll do the trick.

Now see....that's what I mean!

I'm not sure it's a trace chip at all anymore. It must be RIP_SPY software. Just a tiny little program that carefully watches which programs you are using and how you're using them. It automatically installs on your system when you insert a DVD which is copy protected.

Now, it seems that ADVIDG is finding this software is installed automatically when he installs DVD Copy2.

Who knows how far this thing will go. This may not be Blockbuster after all. This has got to be someone else. Maybe it's Big Brother. Maybe it's the movie companies themselves.

This guy says the files are "installed deep". I think he's right. The format c: command may not be the answer after all. What was that flicker on my screen? I think someone just flashed my BIOS and installed that very software. It's probably right there beside that version of NORTON that was installed on my BIOS when I bought the computer.

Now, I'm REALLY freaked out. And I'm not even doing anything illegal. I'm just freaked out about the whole Big Brother thing itself. I always feel like someone's watching me. I've covered up my PC camera with a towel for fear that Big Brother may be sitting there watching me type.

Anyone know a good Shrink.....and I'm not talking about DVD Shrink!!!

I've got.....to.....get....this.....device......out....of....my........head...........................................................

There! I think I got it.

Alright! I'm going to come clean.

I really didn't find any .log file or program on my system. I don't have an electron microscope, and I'm not a paranoid schizophrenic. I don't have a bomb shelter and my BIOS wasn't flashed by Big Brother. I don't live under an assumed name and I'm not hiding from anyone.

Some of the posts here were pretty funny and I'm sure we've probably made some people's wheels turn, but it's all in fun, right........ Hell, I almost made myself believe some of this crap.

On a serious note though, wouldn't it be easy for them to install such a program that would keep track of ripping software? Not that there really is such program, but if BB were to offer a "FREE" rip/burn program such as DVD Shrink, everyone would want to download it. Wouldn't that make it easy to catch the illegal rippers/burners? Now the trace chip idea....that's a little far-fetched. But the program install idea would be easy!

This thread was fun while it lasted.

I hope nobody really formatted their hard drive or torched their computer!

One last folly:

There is no need for highly sophisicated, technical devices to be used to remove all of the imbedded chip technologies. A new company in Sedona, AZ is marketing a New Age Rewritable Chip (N.A.R.C.) technology for this purpose. Branches of the company will be located in Roswell, NM and Stonehenge, UK.

Basically, the system consists of placing your "BB" disc under a Crystal Pyramid which measures 13.13 inches at the base. Light from a north facing window will be focused through the Pyramid onto the disc's chip and effectively erase all chip data in about 13.13 minutes.

Pros: Deletes incriminating information.

Cons: Weight may produce a 9" floppy.

I have that on a t-shirt.

Also the sims 2 uses technology that auto installs when you put in the disc.. if you have appz like Alcohol 120% installed it simply wont play. fact.

Close this thread!! this was one of the funniest things I have read in a long time.

Also you should watch out for RFid tags tracking your every movement. And the new tags in the US $50, and $20 bills. They know what you buying.

Time to get an aluminum hat, protect you thoughts you never know who might be listening. :)

They're all re-installing windows after figuring out what a command prompt is and typing "format c:".

Give'em a couple of days.
