You've gat to love the comment on TFA saying something like: "It doesn't matter that it can be broken by experienced crackers, it's just to keep the honest man honest".

That is so wrong: all it takes is that each one of the warez group builds one like this and then they can rip anything "big media" produces and then put it on torrent or underground movie-sharing networks.

(oh the memories taking my bycicle when I was 12 to meet people in parking lots to trade 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" floppy disks ; )

The snicker net will still work when the Internet police will come. It will be lower bandwidth (or higher depending on the size of the exchanged HDDs :), high latency but will work.
