Savebetamax.org National Call-in Day

Rinisari writes "Savebetamax.org, a project of Downhill Battle, has set up a national call-in day for September 14th. They ask that on that day, each person signed up call a specific congressperson about the INDUCE act in an effort to keep a steady stream of calls all day. The "Save Betamax" nomenclature comes from the fact that the INDUCE act could reverse the decision in the 1984 Sony v. Universal case regarding Sony's Betamax VTRs and copying of copyrighted movies."

Betamax eh?

[digitalgimpus]

Well the only thing more annoying than betamax IMHO is those 3/4 inch tapes. For some reason they are still used by some media companies internally, and B2B. Large, heavy, and the decks are a real pain in the ass to operate. Not to mention dub to another tape, and quite a bit of quality is lost.

Ah quicktime, the ideal video format for transfering video across offices.

From the wiki article,

The dictator Adolf Hitler rose to power as leader of a political party, the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP for short). Germany during this period is also referred to as Nazi Germany. Adherents of Nazism were called Nazis. Nazism has been outlawed in modern Germany, although tiny remnants, known as Neo-Nazis, continue to operate in Germany and abroad

Hitler called his party the Socialist Workers' Party
