    Most of the complaints right now revolve around the ability to hack Stern’s hardware and the discussion about fair use. If the hardware was locked up it wouldn’t be an issue. Funny how nobody complains about the inability to hack other manufacturer’s games. Stern was lazy and cut corners on hardware security. They won’t make that same mistake on the next hardware revision. This will most likely become a moot point.

    The streaming issue isn’t Stern. It’s related to the new DMCA law passed hidden in the stimulus package. Yay for sneaky politics.

    Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

    hardware security?? like apple. the node boards are now SN locked and you need to use an stern tech (just an pinball tech that paid all kind of dues to be an stern tech) to pair an new to your game.

    Betcha that’s to prevent people from making interactive toppers

    Quoted from flynnibus:

    wut?
    I need to introduce you to this thread... https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/official-williams-and-bally-software-upgrades
    Which was the resolution/compromise reached after WMS/PPS went after soren for modifying the WMS/Bally catalog of games and distributing it.

    Dude... Seriously?? That's ONE guy who changed/updated software. You're comparing to everybody who owns a machine can hack the audio/video packages.
