It appeared to me that the proposed law REQUIRED copyprotection built-in;
that it would be ILLEGAL to seel a device WITHOUT copyprotection installed.
IOW, you would be forced to include copyprotection software, whether you
wanted to use such software or not.
And if a device did have such software, the DCMA would protect it against
anyone trying to circumvent the copyprotection - thereby extending the DCMA
controls even further.
Or did I misunderstand?
