As of July 1, 2005, every TV sold in the United States will come equipped with an electronic circuit that will search incoming programs for a tiny electronic “flag.” If the flag is present, your TV will go into a special high-security mode and lock down its high-quality digital outputs. This high-security mode is not designed to protect the television from viruses or computer hackers—it’s designed to protect TV programs from being copied by viewers in ways that the entertainment industry doesn't like. Columnist Simson Garfinkel argues that this is a very ominous development. http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/wo_garfinkel030304.asp?trk=nl <http://www.uptilt.com/c.html?rtr=on&s=5fo,5gvh,4rw,97de,3i5a,8vs6,1po4> _______________________________________________ Liste de discussion FSF France. http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-france -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Serge Marelli, Luxembourg E-mail : serge.marelli(a)linux.lu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LiLux, Luxembourg LUG : http://www.linux.lu/ Defending Innovation against Patent Inflation http://swpat.ffii.org/
