I'm way out on the edge of all that has been said about the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act (CBDTPA). Can someone give me a link or two that will catch me up? I'm not nearly as interested in the propaganda as I am some unbiased description of what this really means. Are the letters at the Electronic Frontiers Foundation accurate? Is this as simple as a battle between content owners and technology providers?
Content owners believe that if any ability to "copy" their work is allowed, then revenues suffer. Technology providers believe that any inhibition of "copy" technology is government intrusion. Is that the ultimate debate?
FULL DISCLOSURE: I truly am in the dark about a lot of this. I don't mean to slant my portrayal of the issues. Let me know what to read!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, tell all your friends about the CBDTPA!! [Scripting News]
