"A bill introduced this week by Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-South Carolina) would roil the electronics industry by forcibly embedding copy protection into all digital devices, from MP3 players to cell phones, fax machines, digital cameras and personal computers.


WTF are these people smoking? Personal computers? If I want to make a freeware game for a C= Pet I have to get approval on COPY PROTECTION from the feds? Copy protection on a freeware game for a C=Pet? Up theirs!!

This will never fly. The feds would have to buy and understand every platform ever made. Good luck on them tracking down all of them.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!
