"Risk and survive. Stall and die. Jump and rise. Fail and learn. Defeat your insecurities. The unknown is not comfortable. Nothing is missing. Creativity is the sheer and pure manifestation of intelligence mixed with a high dose of imagination. Be inventive when facing delicate requests, unmanageable deadlines and unreasonable expectations. Learn to do with what you don't have and pretend you can." ~Carole Guevin, PixelTable

When recording companies put copy protection on visual and audio
material, they do so by setting the high order bit in the time line
channel. This means every frame of a video and the whole of an audio
has this bit set and whether one may copy the material to anything at
all depends on whether the device reads the timeline channel and
abides by the setting of the high order bit. Almost all manufacturers
abide by the International protocols for copy protection.
