yeah...it's crap. what it's meant to do is act as a leverage to get more concessions for the industry. there is a law in effect that allows us to make copies of shit for private use...and i can't see this new item being taken seriously. What they really want is more protections, money, etc...and will do anything to use as a bargaining chip.

I've been keeping an ear out on this, and it sucks.

It is the Movie industry pushing this, with music industry along for the ride, and electronics / pc makers opposed.

Fair use doctrine may get shot to hell on this.
Even though there will be some cracker who will defeat system, it will be a precedent since it will also eliminate many legit reasons for copying discs - create mixed cd's, to use mp3 players, etc.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
