The laws they passed here regarding trading of music/movies online has done absolutely nothing...I see no reason why this would be any different.

That law didn't bide any commercial suppliers or manufacturers. It affects nobody's shopping.

This law will, big time. It will be ILLEGAL to sell hardware which circumvents the technology.

A bit same as if all computers would become illegal to sell unless they have a built-in hardware lock for p2p.

Wheeeeew doggies.

Laz, is lower Slovinia anywhere near Putzwania?

Not gonna happen... you will continue to be able to record all the great American shows there in lower slobovia.

Who is "they"? seems like there are a lot of people involved with the whole thing... Artists, broadcasters... equiment manufacturers... Lot more people involved than just the consumer.

For all your ridiculing of what some of these guys are saying I think you'd be quite suprised at how much is true. For example, the RIAA does want to move to a per device license on music. IE should you buy an MP3 sound track for your MP3 player, you cannot use it on a different Mp3 player, or any other music player. For each playback device you will need to buy a seperate license.

They have even talked about a per play charge on music as well. Embedding a counter into digital audio tracks that music players increment to keep count of plays.

And of course all this will require hardware, which they have to approve, and will push up costs and so on.

Go and do a search on cnet.com for riaa, dig back through the articles. Its quite scary what they try to get passed into law.

Wrong! MP3 player? LMAO. It will be a cold day in hell when I pay for an MP3 player.

" They" seem to talk about a lot of stuff. Who cares?

"They " will not push up any costs as far as I`m concerned.

Strange as it seems, I am not at all frightened.
Like I have said earlier, there is nothing they can do that will effect me in any form nor fashion.
Bet you left the tag on the matress, huh?

As previously said, all the jackals of this planet enable bad things to happen. They're living in thier little cocoon and false illusions of being safe from anything further than thier own back yards which they can protect with thier handguns.

The US people have the unique opportunity now to alter the history and combat these oppressive notions. Contact your congressmen for your own good. Do not let the corporations enslave you.

Hehe, yes, contact your Congress person and make sure you have a big, fat, check ready for them as that is the only way they are going to listen to you.

Corporations enslave us? That is just flat out hilarious. You are only be a slave to them if you do not have the will power to walk away from them. If your life depends on beind able to get your music 'fix' then you have made the choice to be controlled by them.
You have made the choice to empower these entities and just because you have done so, does not mean others have not.

Too bad that majority of the people are just sheeps, lead by the shephards.
Those who aren't sheeps, will suffer because of the sheeps.

Sorry... didn't realize that NZ and lower slobovia was so dependant on American music and machines to play it that every little threat on their free playing/viewing of it rips the fabric of their very existence..

skyzzy is correct... vote with your wallet. Regular TV too full of comercials? quit watching it. That is why they are in trouble... Can't stand regular radio? get satallite.

Can't record HBO? then dump the service. MP3? who cares? they never had me and when they lose NZ and lower slobovia they won't be able to give the crap away.

In the end...They will take any profit over no profit. If they play hardball someone will step in to fill the vacumn.

"they"... who the hell is "they"?

Yea Laz, but load that handgun and help me watch the "back yard" just in case.

Someone has to help. I can`t lead everyone to toal destruction without some assistance.

wow... fishu... that was really profound and woke me up....

us sheep not listening to or recording mp3's are really ruining it for you rugged individualists hanging on every new release.

ooops.. this would probly be a good place to put in a "my bad" just to show how unsheep like I am becomeing.

Heh I can see how and why the corporations can buy out your freedom.

You're right, it's really not affecting me so much but one would think that at least you would care, since it _will_ directly affect all your lives.

I'm left to wait to see if the bill gets passed and anxious to see the following whine tsunami lol.

Hey they might even make the bill so broad that they illegalize AHFILM too in the process.. wouldn't that be cool?

Yes, it has happened before..
