How would you feel if you learned that manufacturing or selling a
regular PC, audio or video recording device as we all know them would
suddenly be illegal and punishable by $500'000 and up to 5 years of
prison? You'd probably think it was a bad joke. Unfortunately that's
not the case, rather it's the latest attempt of RIAA and MPAA to ban
fair use and to turn the world into a pay-per-view only place. An act
called Security Systems Standard and Certification Act has been put
before congress. Should it pass kiss your rights as a consumer by bye.
As a side effect any open source software will effectively become
illegal as well as the DRM management all devices will have to
integrate will certainly be proprietary and can therefore not be
implemented into open source software. You'll find the full draft of
the Act on Cryptome. If it ever was time to get up and fight for your
rights now is the time. Or you'll soon wake up one day and have the FBI
knocking down your door for making a (now illegal) copy of a CD / DVD
you own and have paid for.
