This is getting ridiculous.

I think we should ban the DVD CCA.

In its latest brainstorm, the DVD Copy Control association wants to completely ban all backups. Kiss fair use goodbye. No more place shifting.

You know, I could almost understand this if it was only the MPAA behind it... but its not only them.

Shame on you Intel, HP, Toshiba and Pioneer.

Don't you realize that you are shooting yourself in the foot?

Wake up and smell the coffee... the consumer electronics industry is much bigger than Hollywood.

Oh and if by some miracle this passes... DVD CCA members ought to be required by law to provide replacement DVD's for any scratched, laser-rotted or otherwise damaged or unreadable DVD's at no cost (including no shipping costs) to consumers in perpetuity.
