MPAA vs. Television
Today brings several articles on the MPAA's attempt to create a "broadcast flag" to kill home recording of broadcast television. Lunenburg writes "Apparently too impatient to implement the Broadcast Flag in digital media through legislative means, both Sen. Hollings and Rep. Tauzin have both sent letters to FCC Chairman Michael Powell urging him to mandate the implementation of the Broadcast Flag under FCC rules, according to the EFF's Consensus at Lawyerpoint blog." There's a CNet story about a presentation given by the MPAA to pro-business lobbying groups, and a MSNBC story about digital video recorders.
Correct. For instance, it would be totally immoral for a person to committ suicide (an act expressly forbidden in the Bible and illegal in most states) to prevent a terrorist act from killing thousands. We'll just have to live with the worse outcome. It would also be wrong to go back and in time to 1937 and shoot Hitler, before he gassed millions of innocent people because savings uncountable lives of children just isn't justified by taking away fewer than 10 lives of a raving lunatic.
this article is another reason why /. now is beginning to blow cunt.
fucky the troll rules!!!!
Typical American response. Trying to mix humour in with your own deep-seated insecurities about the way you country screws-over every other country in the world. I am not jealous of you. I pity you. Theres an island near spain somewhere, that has a volcano that is long overdue a landslide. Apparently, when it does slide, the tidal wave will destroy the East Coast of the USA, up to 200 miles inland. Then we'll see who the global superpower is. Watch that on your 57 inch dobly tv.
