"Video content is protected with our BrainTrust™ DRM, and is unplayable except by a legitimate owner. All aspects of the platform feature a near-ridiculous level of security."
Near-ridiculous security seems about right.
- STRML 14y agoThe whole thing is a marketing "worst-of". They consistently advertise their products as "unique, brilliant, revolutionary", "magical, user-friendly, powerful", and "your only option". The real laugh-out-loud moment is this tagline (http://leapingbrain.com/mod-machine/overview/ http://leapingbrain.com/mod-machine/overview/): "Forget crappy streaming systems and primitive, unprotected loose movie file downloads that make your products seem like a joke."

- Aardwolf 14y agoI'm actually wondering if the whole leaping brain website is just filled with sarcasm on purpose? I mean, even for the US, the superlatives seem a bit overdone.
- jcromartie 14y agoI didn't realize this was a US company because of the awful website copy. The content is just appallingly bad, and seems more like something fit for a web squatter or an eastern-European warez site.
- mturmon 14y agoI think you're right. Their word choice about security ("ridiculous" security) seems to be a wink-wink-nudge-nudge touch. In other words, it looks knowingly negligent, and I wonder if that could have legal consequences?
- bitwize 14y ago"Forget crappy streaming systems and primitive, unprotected loose movie file downloads that make your products seem like a joke." That reminds me of a psychic hotline from the 90s which produced an infomercial featuring Billy Dee Williams and an obviously scripted and professionally shot series of vignettes purportedly about a young woman documenting her experiences with the hotline. Their very next infomercial opened with these words: "Tired of psychic informercials with phony testimonials and has-been celebrities?"
- theorique 14y agoNear-ridiculous security seems about right. Not just near ridiculous, it is truly ridiculous!
