DMCA's repercussions (such as isonews)

[Zee]

Got this off some other sites


www.isonews.com

MSNBC
YahooNews

Some guys said this which i find quite unnerving:

"got this off another site but basically this DMCA law is pretty huge. This is not simply one site that got shut down because the gov't caught him selling mod chips, it's the DMCA in full action.

"A mod chip enables you to do (with your legally purchased) hardware just what you want to do with it. Something wrong with that? Then again there is a company that do build pc's and tries to force everyone to use only their software on it.... plans are that all pcs will be like the xbox and will have TPCA built in and by 2004 you will go to jail if you sell a pc without it... at least if you live under US jurisdiction..."

I think ill stock up on motherboard and a cpu next year. The computer right about now is fast enough for me so anything faster then this i can do without...."

Not really a repost. I was more aiming towards the fact that i might have to stock up on motherboard and cpu's :| jus to have complete control of my own computer. thanks for the link though.

This should be POSTED and REPOSTED everywhere everyday and every second we have the opportunity to post it.

"will have TPCA built in and by 2004 you will go to jail if you sell a pc without it... at least if you live under US jurisdiction..." I have read this in many many places and the less we speak out abut it the more likely it is to happen.
