    You mentioned that anti-copying software must be closed-source. Yet S.2048 (CBDTPA) specifically requires any anti-copying software be open source. (3)(d)(2) Of course, I'm still opposed to the bill (mostly because a simple hard drive could be considered a "digital media device" under the bill. But the closed-source argument won't help in this case.
