BPDG Open Conference Call Today
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Broadcast Protection Discussion Group is having all kinds of discussions that will probably decide all kinds of things, like what devices we have for DVD and HDTV in the future and whether not opened source solutions will work with such technologies. EFF posted yesterday the details of the conference call, which is supposed to be an open process. Perhaps slashdotters should try to join?" The call starts at 23:00 GMT, which is 7 p.m. on the East coast of the U.S. and 4 p.m. Pacific.

Just when you think those bozos have done enough damage, they come up with something new!
Regulating ADCs! I can see what will happen - a small, efficient, and low noise ADC in a SOT23 package will need an control chip with 500000gates so that it can be legally used!
In my job, I develop ways to make sure ADCs are made properly. One big problem is that the digital circuits produce a lot of noise, and degrade the performance of analog section of the ADC. So, adding on all the extra digital logic for copy-protection will result in lower performance ADCs everywhere.
No, I don't trust in god. He'll have to pay up front, like everybody else.
That's why I, and you, should call these people music-nazis or movie-nazis. They are a dangerous group of extremists: just as dangerous to the public as the KKK, Scientologists, and NAMBLA.
Hasn't anyone else noticed that the RIAA and MPAA websites look like front-ends for the entry into "the dark side of the force"? At least their honest about it, unlike the priests: black evil souls should wear black clothes, and have black web pages.
