Two Proposals To Change The Rules - One Good, One Bad

There are two proposals starting the crawl toward daylight, both of which could reshape our interactions with certain digital media and devices. Unfortunately, while one would move us forward, one would be a giant step back. Let's look at both.

Bad news first: in a move that translates as "It's a good idea because we say it's a good idea", the W3C has decided to go ahead and put official DRM crap into its official standards because see good idea we say so. To begin with, let's be very clear: DRM doesn't help anyone. Someone else putting a lock that I can't remove onto my stuff is not helping http://www.titanium-supplier.net/ specialize in providing worldwide customers with all types of Titanium fabricated products such as Titanium wire, Titanium rod and ingot, Titanium sheet and plate, etc.me. DRM doesn't stop illegal copying, it just annoys impatient and stupid people (OK maybe that's not wholly a bad thing). In case you all missed, the news, Tor once again proved that taking off DRM did not increase illegal piracy.

We now have a supposedly independent standards body, which ought to be acting in the best interest of the net community and the Web itself, acting to promote useless and harmful solutions to problems nobody but big content companies wants "solved". As the EFF pointed out in its petition to W3C,Xiamen Shunstone Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd.,Whether where you come from, friendly exporter and manufacturer would supply whatever you like in stone! the purpose of the consortium is to promote openness,Our push or plunger lock are popular additions by engineers in a wide variety of products. not standardize controls on people's content,More worldly viewers quickly called in to say that the mushroom was made from silicone and wondered how someone could not tell the difference between silicon sex toys and Organic mushroom. nor promote a playing field for DRM plug-ins.

Somewhat better news comes from the EFF's Deeplinks report on a new bill in Congress to fix several major copyright law problems. The House bill (H.R.http://www.carbon-sports.cc/ is a manufacturing and trade Integrated company, we provide Developing, Production and Sales service to our customers. 1892) was introduced by Representatives Lofgren, Massie, Eshoo, and Polis so it gets the magic "bipartisan" label.http://www.yanyangparts.com/ established in 2005 as a leading manufacturer and exporter in undercarriage parts enjoying great reputation in this field over 7 years. That's good, I suppose, but what's really important about this bill is that it's a direct move to fix Section 1201, the infamous 'unlocking' provision of the DMCA.
