US editors: Look at what is going on in congress (IMPORTANT)

Post by Coderjo » Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:12 pm

At the beginning of this week, the MPAA and RIAA have joined forces and pushed legislators to introduce a piece of "Analog Hole" legislation. The bill, if passed, will make it illegal to make anything capable of digitizing or encoding video unless it has all outputs approved by the Hollywood studios, or is closed-source, proprietary, and tamper-resistant. Their goal is to make it impossible to make an MPEG (or other digital encodes) from a video signal unless they approve it.

It would be wise to keep an eye on this, and, when the time comes, write your representatives asking them to oppose this ill-concieved roadblock to future innovation and creativity.

One more step will be added to the ripping process.

Thanks for the heads up Joe.

Do what?

Ripping is already illegal enough :roll:
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
