Just found out about a new trade protection measure that limits what  
you can do with the audio/video you buy.  You can read about it on  
Slyck at http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=1069 .  They refer to it  
as "the broadcast flag on steroids".

Their home page also lists an article on a bill that would empower  
the FCC to enforce the broadcast flag itself.  See that at http:// 
www.slyck.com/news.php?story=1064 .

The home page also lists an article about Linus's decision to convert  
LInux to GPL 3 - due to DRM.  The article is at http://news.com.com/ 
Torvalds+No+GPL+3+for+Linux/2100-7344_3-6031504.html?tag=nefd.lede .
