Hollywood has fielded a shockingly ambitious piece of "Analog Hole" legislation while everyone was out partying in costume. Under a new proposed Analog Hole bill, it will be illegal to make anything capable of digitizing video unless it either has all its outputs approved by the Hollywood studios, or is closed-source, proprietary and tamper-resistant. The idea is to make it impossible to create an MPEG from a video signal unless Hollywood approves it.
Do you want RIAA/MPAA to lock down all video recorders? What is next, jail time for fast fowarding through ads on DVD's you own? Its all about the greed of MPAA/RIAA. Sad, very sad.
