EFF Comments on HDTV Copy Restriction Plans

Posted by chrisd on from the floating-head-of-seth-david-schoen dept.

Seth Schoen writes: "EFF has been following the work of the Broadcast Protection Discussion Group (which was featured in a CNet article linked from slashdot on Thursday) since it was founded in November. Co-incidentally, we today released an EFF overview of this work which contains some of our criticism of these efforts to control the ability of future consumer devices to record digital HDTV broadcasts."

    Although I've seen them mentioned numerous times here on slashdot, i've never read anything from them. I suppose the only info I know about them would be considered "hearsay" from slashdot discussions. This article is coherent, easy to understand, well thought out, did i meantion easy to understand, and informative. In short, if i wasn't unemployed, I'd be donating right now.
