Thus protecting fair use rights (sic) and makeing it no harder to pirate then the days of tapes and lp's. As I said it could still be done but would kill of I'd say most of the activity's.
No! Let me explain a little more about what everyone's friends at the RIAA are doing.
1.) They seek to control ANY copying (NO mixes, copies from tape or LP to CD, or back-ups, unless they approve). They have targeted the issue and refer to it as the "analog hole," a stereo's ability to send an analog signal to a computer, which can then be recorded with computer software.
Here's what the CBDTPA could do:
a.) Cripple software that allows users to copy music from tapes and LP's through updates removing that functionality.
b.) Force hardware (including computer, audio, and video) manufacturers to design products without jacks that 'might' allow physical links between such equipment and computers.
c.) Remove 'recording' (hardware and software) capabilities from any type of device you seek to own.
The Recording Industry has always hated the consumer's existing right to make even taped copies of radio broadcasts, LP's, tapes or CD's. If they can take those rights away in the process, they will.
...And I didn't even discuss the MPAA's "broadcast flag"! Let's just say, hope you don't like Tivo...:D |
