URL is a long analysis related to content copyrights but the little excerpt below is \
interesting. I wonder how broad the "all digital devices" definition is? Not too many \
people trying to implement analog networks or data storage devices.

"...The CBDTPA would require all digital devices—everything from fax machines to MP3 \
players and computers (as well as the software that runs on them)—to be equipped with \
embedded copy protection schemes, approved by the federal government...."

"The CBDTPA is real legislation, and enjoys the support of five other co-authors: Ted \
Stevens (R-Alaska), Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), John Breaux (D-Louisiana), Bill Nelson \
(D-Florida) and Dianne Feinstein (D-California). "
