Senate May Ram Copyright Bill
Yet another encroachment of Hollywood into our homes in an attempt to dictate what we do with materials we PURCHASE from them. It's bad enough that they block our ability to forward through commercials on DVDs, but now they want to make it ILLEGAL to fast forward through them with your Tivo or ReplayTV. Absolutely pathetic. It's about time consumers stood up and said "enough is enough."
As early as this week, the Senate may try to quickly pass a bill that would radically change copyright law in favor of Hollywood and the music industry. One provision: Skipping commercials would be illegal. Michael Grebb reports from Washington. [Wired News]
