Supremes Grant Stay in Pavlovich DVD CCA Case

endall writes "Sandra Day O'Connor granted a stay last week for DVD Copy Control Association so that the court could gather more information. She requested filings by later this week. I'm guessing that this delays implimentation of the California Supreme court decision on the matter."

Consumers' rights are pitted against industry copyright protection, with trillions of dollars at stake, said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies Inc., a Silicon Valley consulting firm.

You seem to forget that corporate money is worth more in this instance because they are more likely to "donate it to particular political groups."

Being a minor, my "comsumer rights" are worth less than $0. Those of you whose opinions are affected by this probably vote Libertarian anyways.

That recurring straw man

``The future of digital delivery has been on hold ever since this case first came," said Doherty, head of The Envisioneering Group. ``They need to know it's going to be protected, it's not going to be ripped off seven seconds after being put on the Internet."

Then don't put it on the Internet. I'm perfectly happy getting my (non region-encoded) DVDs at $5.95 from oldies.com -- who I surmise, are perfectly happy selling them to me. And believe it or not, at that price the idea of going to the trouble of copying them doesn't even cross my mind.

Why should we change the Internet so you can better peddle your wares on it, Mr Doherty? It wasn't meant for this. And please, stop this straw man that your fight is to enable the "future of digital delivery". It's not, for it's obviously independant of any plans in that direction.
