Hollywood's antipiracy charm offensive has FCC in crosshairs
,----[ Quote ]
| Can Hollywood and Big Cable get the FCC and
| Congress to give them carte blanche on
| their war against movie piracy? An
| impending decision on a proposal to block
| analog streams to HDTVs may show how much
| clout the studios have with the new FCC.

Copyright Treaty Is Policy Laundering at Its Finest
,----[ Quote ]
| The blogosphere is abuzz over an apparently
| leaked document showing the United States
| trying to push its controversial DMCA-style
| notice-and-takedown process on the world. But
| since Threat Level already lives in the land
| of the DMCA, or Digital Millennium Copyright
| Act, weâre more bothered by the fact that the
| U.S. proposal goes far beyond that 1998 law,
| and would require Congress to alter the DMCA
| in a manner even more hostile to consumers.
|
| At issue is the internet section of the Anti-
| Counterfeiting Trade Agreement being
| developed under a cloak of secrecy by dozens
| of countries. The leaked document is a three-
| page European Commission memo written by an
| unnamed EU official, which purports to
| summarizes a private briefing given in
| September by U.S. trade officials.
