NB: That is Item 192 in Agora, Summer 2001.

Oh, and also, there is Item 194, same Agora, with objections to and
discussion of Item 192.

Well, if we are going to argue about the argument there, maybe the
actual discussion will stay here. :)
Repeating myself from M-net:
Congress already endorsed the proposal that consumers should not have
access to unrestricted digital copying when they passed the Audio
Home Recording Act, which mandated the Serial Copy Management System
in consumer digitial music recorders. I bet the argument will be that
Congress will just be closing the loophole the AHRA left for general-
purpose computers; when the AHRA was passed, I don't think the lawmakers
or the lobbyists forsaw the consumer Internet, or CD burners.

If people think $16 is too much to pay for a legal copy of their
latest pop CD then why don't they not buy the thing? Simply
making illegal copies doesn't seem like the best response.

But what else will it make illegal? And what future developments in the
industry will it stifle? And what is the point of it except to guarantee
certain persons (not necissarily the artist) the right to make money? What
damage will it do to that industry by restricting artists rights?

This is pretty much the end of "fair use" rights, isn't it?

#146> Yep. Some spoiled kids ruined it for everyone.
When is the Government going to stop acting like a father in midlife crisis
who's too lazy to come up with serious solutions to his kids' misbehavior and
just lays down "now EVERYONE's lost their priveleges" judgments?

Re 143. Not buying the CD is *my* response. I don't need an illegal copy.
However, this law will have impacts on far more activities than downloading
music.

The one that scared me was the "first sale" negation -- i.e., under this act,
it would be illegal to borrow books/cds, etc. from the public library. Taht
was scary!

#148> Doesn't current copyright "fair use" law also give (or at least imply)
me the right to make archive copies for my *own* private usage?

hmmm. This is kind of funny because I was just thinking that I could
take my old pc and put in a larger hard drive and then record all of my
cd's onto that hard drive and hook it up to my stereo so I could have
all my music in one place. I can still do that of course but that does
seem to be what they are going to end up putting a stop to.
