Fresh back from the Windy City! The snow and cold weather was ok for a couple of days, but I prefer 80 and cool trade winds. Lots of great tech to cover tonight.. I have some great opportunity to someone that would like to underwrite the show for a couple of episodes, drop me a line if your interested. I should be in Hawaii over the next couple of weeks so it will be great to get back into a regular rhythm for the show production.

In a cross-talk interview done by the BBC resulted in a some good dialog from the knight in shining honor at the EFF and the evil empire leader at the MPAA [BBC]

Don’t believe that their are all kinds of sinister acts happening now. Well you need to wake the heck up and listen to some of the stuff I have been talking about. If the following two articles don’t make you sit up and get very angry then I will ask you to comment on why not. Read and pay close attention to what is being attempted. [ArsTechnica] [EFF]

This will be a topic for tonights podcast where I am going to have a few things to say!

From the EFF

Today is the last day to submit proposals (by 5p EST) to the Copyright Office seeking a 3-year DMCA exemption for noninfringing activities that are otherwise squelched by “digital rights management” (DRM) restrictions [EFF]

EFF goes after Sony in a big way. I send the EFF a yearly donation and this year I am going to double my contribution. When companies like Sony do what they wish and break the publics trust they need to understand that the general public is not going to put up with these types of actions.

Seeing my wife’s computer was infected with Sony’s Rootkit and having spent 5 hours getting this malware removed and rebuilding the computer we will see if they honor the invoice I have mailed to them. I am looking forward to the response I get from their legal department. [EFF]

The RIAA has decided that the makers of next generation of Digital Radio Receivers need to legislated so that you will not copy music that is being broadcast over the digital airways.

They are asking congress to build restrictions into these digital players so that they cannot have material copied out of them and also to reduce the quality of the music.

From the EFF “In other words, the music industry is basically saying that, where recording from next-generation radio is concerned, government must step in and freeze innovation to ensure that you can never do anything that you couldn’t do with an analog cassette deck in 1984. This, despite the fact that Congress specifically approved of digital recording off the radio in the Audio Home Recording Act in 1992. So this is about stopping music fans from doing things that are perfectly legal under copyright law.”

I encourage you to read the entire article by the EFF and visit the associated links. Join the letter writing campaign to speak out. [EFF]

The EFF has a update on the Broadcast Flag battle, and for those of you that reacted from the posting on this website, Thank You. [EFF]

I support the EFF with a yearly donation, and encourage those of that understand the importance of fair use to do the same.
