Senator Pushes Bill To Limit Anti-Copying Schemes

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the enough-is-enough dept.

Brushfireb writes "Republican Sen. Sam Brownback is pushing a bill that will limit the ability of record labels, movie studios and others to use anticopying technology on their products. Most notably, this is important because it states that people will be able to resell their used DVDs, along with putting a concrete limit on this behavior of DRM/anticopying schemes by the RIAA and MPAA."

    Where is the frickin stable release. Whatever happened to having a stable 5.0 before creating a 5.1.

    Wow that ALMOST makes me want to switch parties. If only they would do more stuff like this. Someone really needs to put an end to this madness and I have to say I am surprised it was a republican. Not just because they are not my party but because regulating large corperations is not their thing.

      I'd much rather have a president who slept with anything that moved than an idiot.

      Unfortunately our former president was both.
