Is CD Copy Protection Illegal?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-it-be-nice dept.

ribbiting writes "US Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va. is asking RIAA execs to explain how they can collect royalties on various blank media at the same time that the RIAA members are implementing copy protection mechanisms, with particular reference to the Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) of 1992." Glad someone is asking the question.

    I think we all know the answer though. A massive bribe by the RIAA's lobbyists should answer any of the congressman's dilemas.
