"The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) filed
the "Content Protection Status Report" with the Senate
Judiciary Committee last month, laying out its plan to
remake the technology world to suit its own ends. The
report calls for regulation of analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), generic computing components found
in scientific, medical and entertainment devices. Under
its proposal, every ADC will be controlled by a
"cop-chip"..."

Wow!!! That is frightening. These people are totally
out of control.

I'd like to know if MPAA will accept financial
responsibility for people who die when their kidney
machine shuts down after reading a false positive.

I guess they will pay for it the day after the geds pay
for all the people who were killed BECAUSE they were
wearing seatbelts.

Thanks Justin.
