Digital Media


I'm all for labels that make our cataloging more accurate, informative and save time. This proposed bill sounds good to me:
Senator Ron Wyden recently introduced the Digital Consumer Right-to-Know Act (DCRKA), a bill that would require entertainment companies to label products with copy-protections that limit consumer use. Support the DCRKA if you think the content industry should be ordered to clearly label media that restricts your rights!
You can send a prepared letter to your senators from the Electronic Freedom Foundation site.
