Stop Policeware

{Get out of my system} The entertainment industry and the consumer have been fighting ever since it became possible to download stuff for free. Recently, the "big boys" got behind a bill that would allow "policeware" to be integrated into personal computers. In a nutshell, it would restrict copyrighted material from being played on that specific machine (music, movies, etc.). If you don't agree with this new bill, then go to this site and find out how you can help spread the word. "The Institute shall encourage and support the development of one or more computer programs, protocols, or other software, such as the World Wide Web Consortium's P3P program, capable of being installed on computers, or computer networks, with Internet access that would reflect the users preferences for protecting personally-identifiable or other sensitive, privacy-related information, and automatically execute the program, once activated, without requiring user intervention."
