I Want My MTV... PC?

Tsar writes: "MTV Networks is putting their imprimatur on a line of entertainment-oriented PC's to be available early this year. Targeting the college-age crowd, they'll have TV &amp radio tuners, DVD players, remote controls, and 'MTV-specific content.' CNN has this article on CNN's SCI-TECH page, but the original story was posted last Thursday on IDG.net. There's also news of MTV's impending digital music player, which uses DataPlay's 500MB matchbook-sized discs with built-in digital rights denial^H^H^H^H^H^Hmanagement."

    They are saying the pc will be produced by Lan Plus, so this is probably what it will be.

    thus denying the Constitutionally given rights of content creators and copyright holders, no?
    The US Constituon does not give rights to content creators and copyright holders at all. All it does is permit Congress to enact copyright legislation:
    Section 8. The Congress shall have power ... To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;
    Nothing is guaranteed in that statement.
