If it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it. If it is broke, however…
The more that I read about copyright and where it’s gone copywrong, I weep for the future of entertainment technology. With record and movie companies determined to make criminals out of nearly every user out there, it’s a scary time indeed for somebody who just wants to enjoy music (or any other form of recorded entertainment).
At least there are those who are trying to make things better. Surf yourself on over to Electronic Frontier Foundation’s site and take action. There is a bill going before the House that will help to de-criminalize the completely harmless act of copying one’s own media, and EFF has a way for you to contact your Congress Representative to encourage him/her to vote for it.
Please, before all music lovers are sued for millions, before listening to music requires paying through the nose for every time that you play a song, help out. Stop this train of insanity!
A hat-tip goes to Neil for writing the post that made me aware of it.
