A News.com report says “Technology industry heavyweights are trying to kill a Hollywood-backed plan heading for Congress that would require anti-piracy protections in PCs, CD players and other consumer electronics devices.” This is important to us because all of your nice shiny burned cds might not work in the next round of CD players on the market. Some interesting commentary on SDMI in the article as well.
