Analog Hole | EDUCAUSE

Created by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on November 1, 2005

The RIAA have proposed a legislative draft for a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property, on the topic "Content Protection in the Digital Age: The Broadcast Flag, High-Definition Radio, and the Analog Hole," on November 3rd. To quote the EFF the effect of the legislation would be to:

[...] take one of the most basic and ubiquitous components in multimedia, and encase it within a pile of legally-enforced, complex, and patented proprietary technology - forever.

Coverage from: public knowledge.org and eff.org.

Amazingly, not even RIAA.com appears to have positive coverage of this at the time of writing. If anyone finds any material justify this, I'd really be interested.
