Sonicblue Wins Stay of Spying Order

Posted by michael on from the watching-us-watching-them dept.

ebonkyre writes "According to this article, federal Judge Florence-Marie Cooper has stayed the order which would require SONICBlue to begin recording users viewing habits and reporting them to the MPAA, et al. It has been stayed until June 3rd, at which time the court is to review SB's motion to throw out the order entirely." EPIC has filed a brief supporting Sonicblue's position. EPIC's argument (starting on page 5 of the PDF) neatly summarizes why this order should never have been given.

    Your rights are the last thing on the court
    's mind right now. How in the fuck do your rights make the corrupt judges in this country any money?

    Pretty soon people will realize that they have quite a lot less rights than they thought they were guaranteed.

    You will still have the right to pay taxes and to die. Everything else is debatble.
