House Cool to Copy Protection Key legislators in the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives aren't keen on embedding copy protection controls in consumer electronic devices. Declan McCullagh and Robert Zarate report from Washington. [Wired News] ...guess this is one case where I have to thank the republicans. We can only hope that pressure will mount on both sides and as a result nothing gets done. CP [copy protection] is a threat to every media device you own. Remeber this is the reason that DAT died...the industry killed it because they feared it. Of course CDR has become a much bigger issue for CP. It's funny to remember the SCSI, 2x CDR I had that when new, cost over $500...mj 7:36:01 AM
