Somes pages on Senator Hollings' and Jack Valenti's agendas to force hardware makers to build-in copy protection: John Gilmore and Intel, EFF's Alert, ACM's open letter to Senator Hollings, and EFF's BPDG Blog.

Maybe I'm becoming more sensitive to these issues after reading The Future of Ideas, but this is the first time I feel strongly enough about one of EFF's issues to consider becoming a member. The entire mess is symptomatic of the classic Democratic "regulate first, think later" mindset.
