Boycott of "HackSDMI Challenge" (fwd)

[Sandip Bhattacharya <sandipb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks, do read this article if you are concerned about freedom in the
Electronic media.

Summary: SDMI has come out with a new Music encryption technology and has
offered $10,000 to anybody who can hack the code.

However, this is just another attempt by these kind of firms who malign
hackers in the media for breaking such codes(like the DVD one) and try to
use them (like in this contest) for their own commercial needs. Read this
article to find out how such technology can restrict your freedom!!!
