Under a new proposed Analog Hole bill, it will be illegal to make anything capable of digitizing video unless it either has all its outputs approved by the Hollywood studios, or is closed-source, proprietary and tamper-resistant. The idea is to make it impossible to create an MPEG from a video signal unless Hollywood approves it.'"

yeaaaa.... good ol RIAA. I've had a chip on my shoulder towards them for years, and I pray for the day when they finally go away..

Maybe the A Hole bill will help others see just how ridiculous they are.
