Support 'fair use' in the USA (related to DVD playback)

[David Teague]

There is a number of issues that I am concerned about.
Please look at all the issues listed there and send email/
fax/snail mail to your congress-person and senators in
support of these measures.

I sent mail supporting each measure!

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is 
being run by smart people who are putting
us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.

Clearly, it's the imbeciles. And they really mean it.

  For other USA peeps out there, there appears to be a bill in congress at the moment related to copy-writtened CDs, encrypted DVDs, and other fair use of media you have rightfully obtained. Go here (http://action.eff.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ADV_homepage and click on DMCA reform) and show your support for reforming legislation that infringes your fair use. 

  Among other things, this bill seeks to correct the reason why many distros can't support DVD playback 'out of the box'. 

  For those of you who don't give a flip about regulations and are going to do as you please, you could do the rest of us a favor and support the possiblity of some good legislation.
