You can approximate the distance from each receiver based on minute differences in when the signal arrives, but reflections wreak havoc with this technique.
This topic has nothing to do with jamming. Jamming is disruption of communication by forcing interference in the channel from the outside. This is simply copy protection. (Which isn't as exciting as 'jamming camcorders'?)
Sorry about the typo. Was supposed to 'this preserves' not 'the preserves'.
In general, you are allowed to modify something you own. And, in general, you are allowed to sell the means to for people to modify what they own. I agree does get stickier if the item represents the creators expression, such as a painting, and 'owner' modifies it. On the other hand, it is and should be OK to distribute software to 'modify' Windows to make it interoperate with Linux, even though the copyright holder might not like it.
There is an interesting analogy to open software. I would like to be able to have my kids watch some movies with the foul language removed. (Keep in mind foul language is gratuitously added to movies to avoid the dreaded 'G' rating that will kill the lucrative teen audience.) Borrowing from the idea of a software patch, and edit list could allow the original movie to be distributed in unadulterated form, but I could show the version with the edit list for my kids. The preserves the integrity of everyone's IP, including the author of the edit list. Everybody's happy!?
