Couple important quotes, just to highlight:
Under it, any device, "whether it's an attached device or the receiver itself" which, "does anything heretofore unheard of with the digital content that it receives," is illegal," declares Ars Technica.
"And if it does anything 'customary' that could also possibly lead to unauthorized redistribution, then it's also illegal. So all the bases are covered!"
"When digital broadcast nirvana finally arrives, the only people who'll be legally authorized to make money off of music and movies are the middlemen at the RIAA and the MPAA."
Hope everyone is happy with their current technology; any new method of using copyrighted files is in danger of being made illegal.

Once again, I reinstate, it is better to be a pirate than to join the Navy.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
