If it can be "cracked" easily, then OpenRAW has no point.

It's the other way around logic-boy.



If you don't like Nikon's or Canon's policies about any of this, you
are free to purchase the products of other companies. Right? Or is
someone forcing you to purchase Nikon's software?

Yes, Nikon. For a person with 000's of dollars in Nikon glass, being
forced to purchase more beyond a camera is simple wallet gouging.


Nikon is forcing you? Really? Well, if anyone forced me to do
something I didn't want to do I would report the incident as the crime
it is.

Oh sheesh. It's not like you decide one day "I hate those Mazda
*******s" and change car brands. Replacing a lens collection is not
trivial. Nikon have a lot of loyal customers who are now having part of
their own images encrypted and requiring Nikon authorized s/w to read it.

The point is to stop these idiotic and pointless 'races' in the future.


Again, who is forcing you to participate in these "races"?

Nikon. By encrypting part of MY image without my consent.

Cheers,
Alan.
