This article is interesting. It tells you what this bill is and what it means. It also tells you what you can do to prevent this.
I mean what if China were to do this? Can you imagine the uproar it would cause? So why should the USA be treated any differently? This seems like communism to me.
the big problem is the copy protection would have to be at the hardware level as well as software. This would instantly make your computer or MP3 player(or anything else of that nature) obsolete and possibly illegal.
Do you like to back up your MP3 collection? This would make that litteraly impossible. Oh and roms would no longer even work.
