Instead, it is a narrow government mandate, with some similarities to the Audio Home Recording Act -- a "consensus at lawyerpoint". The premise is that it will become illegal to sell digital television receivers that have unencrypted digital outputs, or allow the user to record in an open standard format. -- Seth Schoen Staff Technologist schoen () eff org Electronic Frontier Foundation http://www.eff.org/ 454 Shotwell Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 1 415 436 9333 x107 ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
