Re: Analog Hole Bill Would Require Secret Tech No One Can Examine



Hello John,


If the CD were introduced today, it would be carefully designed to ensure that it couldn't be ripped to your hard disk or transferred to an iPod-like device. ...


That would last a week or so. By then some kid would have found out how to hack it anyway.


But this time, they're one step ahead of us. That monopoly, natural or otherwise, is being given the force of law. ...


All that would do is drive even more business out of the US. The gear would be made elsewhere. About the only problem for the mfgs would be that the new elite there will have a problem tooling around in their Lamborghinis until the roads become better. Which they will.

Regards, Joerg
