That is, while they would love to make everyone pay for music used on mobile phone rings, doorbells, answering machines, whatever, I'm pretty sure they'd settle for a law which focussed on computers/internet -- especially if they thought it would be unrealistic to deal with everything else. Or maybe they'd want something about "devices which reproduce or perform copyright-protected content" which would exempt toasters and the like. (But for how long? Maybe we'll see copyright or patent protection for bread recipes in the near future. This unique mix of cereals, etc.) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
