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."

    The biggest trick the devil pulled was letting lawyers become politicians so they can write the laws.
