Schneier: Unchecked presidential power
Laws are what give us security against the actions of the majority and the powerful. If we discard our constitutional protections against tyranny in an attempt to protect us from terrorism, we’re all less safe as a result.
Good Stuff!
If the parties were reversed in this, it would be all over the news as an example of free speach oppression…

Good ole’ Hollywood is screwing everyone again. The FCC approved a “broadcast flag” too effectively take away the option of recording anything on TV. According to The Register, “…any device capable of receiving digital TV transmissions must have the feature…by July 1 2005″. Forget recording educational shows so your kids can watch em at a more convient time, or that oh-so-cool time shift feature of PVR’s.
The people in charge of these multi-billion dollar entertainment industries have turned into complete idiots. Instead of attempting to limit the recording of shows, the cable industry should be developing their on-demand offerings. Trying to fight the online sharing of shows is a loosing battle. One that will sap funds and is ultimately pointless.
Ah well… I’m betting that within the first month this technology is in place someone will come up with a way to get around it. Then get thrown in jail for violating the DMCA.
