Disney Suggests Mandating DRM On All Media
Ethan Butterfield writes "Cory Doctorow posted this on his blog this morning. Essentially, Disney wants the FCC to regulate all devices capable of recording from any audio broadcasting medium or from the Internet."
They should just patent and copyright the English language, as well as every other popularly spoken language. That way you'll have to pay to listen to it, pay to speak it.
"Your honour this man was found speaking without a DRM registration. We have him on DRM authorized recording saying the word 'Hi'". "You've been found guilty of speaking without a license. This is a very serious offence and you've been sentenced to 3 years in a corrective facility".
Think what I've said is totally ridiculous. Policing the use of recording media is only a little less so.
Patents and copyrights are pure evil and in their current form they need to go before companies do make them draconian in the name of protecting their rights.

I have and will continue to. I wouldn't take a Disney DVD, video tape, T-shirt, etc. if Walt himself came down from heaven with a glowing halo and offered me $1000 to do it. FUCK Disney!!!
