Actually, for the last one or two years it's already illegal to sell or re-sell (even used) VCRs without macrovision shit. What will determine the outcome of this war is future availability of universal openly-programmable computing platforms (aka pee-cees). We will probably see regulations following those for handguns: for the first few decades everyone sported them, then they became heavily regulated. So expect a 5-year federal care for possession of an "unlocked" PC within one mile from schoolyard or an airport. ===== end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
