Anti-Piracy Labeling Bill in Works

Rinisari writes "Just posted on news.com.com is an article with more on the bill that could make all digital consumer products be required to be labeled with information regarding any anti-piracy technology within the device. Senator Ron Wyden, D-OR, will be the primary sponser of the bill (he's also got a text-only site)."

More fun for me

I say bring it on. Anti-piracy measures just mean more things to me to crack, and I love cracking.

Wouldn't you be a bit ticked if the CD burner you bought
was used as a hammer by the store manager's kid, without any notice about it?

This is nothing of the sort, you know it, I know it and this populist grandstander is pulling another watered down Gore/McCarthy stunt.

Nobody expects a Yugo, the zenith of Communist cosumer goods, to be able to keep up with a tricked out CJ-7 in a hill climb. If people market products WITHOUT "copy protection" (a misnomer at best) and LABEL THOSE ACCURATELY AND VOLUNTARILY then that is fine by me.

Apparently YOU need a nanny.

Let's see, wonder where Jefferson got inspiration for the constution? The Bible in part, perhaps? God (the Christian one) is mentioned SEVERAL times in the constitution. For the first instance read the Preamble.

Jefferson, in his writings attributes, the Bible, Machevelli, Benjamin Franklin, Magna carta, amongst others.

Liberalism is VERY close to Fascism. It is DEMOCRATS who are the main force behind the DMCA. MY STATE'S senator, Fritz Hollings (D) is the biggest sponsor of the Bill. If you can recall, he was also co author to video game violence legislation and TV ratings. How about not modding me down to flamebait without facts!
