Talk:SafeDisc

message: I'm surprised there is no mention here of the blown speaker incidents. The odd data sends square waves that can destroy some speakers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zerothis (talk • contribs) 10:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potential Hardware Damage 

message: The lawsuit (and settlement) against Sony BMG was based in large part on the security risk that their DRM rootkit presented. This article states that the SafeDisc driver grants ring 0 access to the kernel, so it looks like SafeDisc could also be defeated by way of legal remedies. 24.6.99.30 00:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Legal accountability 

message: "SafeDisc installs its own Windows device driver to the user's computer, named secdrv.sys."
secdrv.sys is one of the pre-installed XP device drivers, so it's possible that SafeDisc just uses a Windows driver that is already there. Do you mean that SafeDisc replaces the Windows device driver with its own version of secdrv.sys? Is it possible that SafeDisc installs secdrv.sys only on Windows versions that did not have secdrv.sys installed?
Please write a more detailed description of how you think this works.

message: The Versions section of the page seems to be pretty much pasted in from CD Media World, minus a few sentences here and there:

Can someone else reword the section? Cipher42 04:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  is C-Dilla a subdivision of Macrovision ? 

message: I have noticed that Rovi Corporation has bought out Macrovision, and safedisc and and safecast are no longer on its website. Also, a scene group released a tool and in its nfo it states "Since the Macrovision Corp. turned into Rovi Corporation and discontinued development of SafeDisc/SafeCast DRM's, we have decided to make this old tool public (after some adjustments).". Can anyone confirm this for me?Ub3rst4r (talk) 00:47, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This does indeed seem to be true.They are no longer marketing these products publicly anyway and this change should be written about here.If nothing else, then at least the fact that Macrovision changed name (not bought out, changed name as currently described on their webpage) should be explained here.85.225.177.156 (talk) 07:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
