If you take a look at the categories you will notice several unusual ones, for instance Most Likely to Change the World or Most Likely to Get Users Sued. That’s the spirit, you will not find the usual boring categories in that list. Each of the twelve categories contains a list of Open-Source applications that can be voted for. Interested users can also skip the voting process and head right to the project’s website to download any interesting sounding application.

There are some “serious” categories as well, like Best Project for the Enterprise, Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins and Best Tool or Utility for Developers. I’m still a bit puzzled why Launchy made it into the category Most Likely To Get Users Sued.

You need an Open ID or a Sourceforge account to vote for the best software in each category. I for one will head straight to the download sites to download anything of interest from the list.

The DVD screeners that Disney will send to the groups that vote on the awards will be encrypted and will only run on dvd players made by Cinea, who are specially designed to thwart copying the screeners.

Furthermore the dvd screeners are encrypted with the recipients name. Even if one would be able to make a copy the name would still be somewhere encrypted in the movie.

Sony Studios and Universal Pictures, two other global players, already commented on Disneys move and declared that they won´t use the Cinea service for their dvd screeners.

In recent years the studios began to encrypt or watermark their movies with special codes in order to trace back to the person who received the screener and started the copying process.

With other studios not joining Disney might face serious troubles because it might limit the number of voters who actually see their films.

Disney already decided to hold special privat screenings for awards groups, to compensate for the loss of viewers
