Looks like the love child of Sen. Fritz Hollings and Walt Disney Co. - the SSSCA - is back. This is the proposed law that would require digital rights management in pretty much any computer-like device. How much do you want to bet that Linux will be blessed by a DRM solution, even in the best case?
This is a clear attempt to fatten the pockets of the big publishers at the expense of the rights of the people. I'd encourage the NC residents on the list to take 30 seconds to call Sen. Edwards office at (202)224-3154 and urge him to oppose this short-sighted attempt at expanding copyright powers. I just called and it was quite painless. :-) If enough people call today, he may get the message. The proposal is getting introduced tomorrow, so we have to make it snappy.
