Sonicblue Wins Stay of Spying Order

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.

    I would like to inform slashdot advertisers and potential slashdot advertisers, that I (for one) completely ignore the ads at this site.

    You are wasting your advertising dollars by putting ads on slashdot. Your ads are as easily ignored as TV commercials recorded on a VCR.

    Oddly enough, my dick is too big and destroys a McDonald's apple pie.
