Copyright Law Creates Analog Resurgence?
Posted by Ernest Miller
Frank Field brings up an interesting point on his Furdlog regarding LAMP (Reinventing the Jukebox? Or rejecting digital over copyright?):
This strategy should scare the entertainment industries, not to mention the consumer electronics firms that have committed to digital delivery. This project shows that there is enough resistance to the current construction of copyright in the digital realm that people are prepared to design around the strictures, at the expense of the supposedly better technology. I believe that, if the FCC approves the broadcast flag, a similar response will arise in the television industry.
Consumer backlash is only going to get stronger, as the copyright industries continue to exploit the opportunities for increased control that digital telecomm offers them.
Frank is right, as usual.
