IIRC, a while back that the MPAA was pushing for a law that would require video cameras to stop recording if they detected a specific trigger. The intent was to prevent people from filming in movie theaters, similar to the EURion watermarking constellation found on most bank notes. I can't imagine how things would have turned out if that technology had become standard and inevitably abused.
- jiveturkey 5y agothat more or less happened. all BD players required to implement audio fingerprinting
- cwkoss 5y agoWhat is BD in this context?

- dec0dedab0de 5y agoI am surprised I never heard of this before. It's a watermark not a fingerprint. The audio would have a watermark embedded in it, and if the player finds the watermark it requires the disk to have encryption. That would be pretty neat if it wasn't awful.

- zamadatix 5y agoI'd lean towards "less", a unique fingerprint provides completely different functionality than a kill sound. The only connection is the MPAA liked both.
- varispeed 5y agoIn many Android phones you can't record calls and call recording apps don't work. When I recently reported a crime police didn't show up and when I asked them to come for a follow up, they lied that I have not asked anyone to come. The lovely lady even said "We listened to your call and you didn't ask us to come when incident happened."
- goldenkey 5y agoGoogle just broke call recording again on my Pixel 4 with their latest Android update. They've done this multiple times in the last few years. Truly deplorable..
- CyberShadow 5y agoThe reason is mostly technical. Depending on the phone, call audio isn't implemented as much in software as wired directly (in some variable degree) to the radio hardware. This is why the quality and success rate of call recording apps varies - it depends how many kinds of configurations the app authors managed to implement support / workarounds for.
- zinekeller 5y agoAs some who tinkers phones, this is very true, especially with phones equipped with Qualcomm chipsets (note that VoLTE and VoWiFi are decoded in software though).
- effingwewt 5y agoBullshit. They break it with updates on phones where it worked just fine. They also removed access to root folders on a whim. This sucked for those of us with locked bootloaders, without root we now lost access to those folders and the contents therein.
- zinekeller 5y agoWhat is you country (of your SIM card)? If it's Asia, I'm definitely sure that circumventing that restriction (even analog means) will get you to jail. Edit: also some parts of the US!
