Copywrited CDs and movies will be encoded with a special code. All Computers, VCRs, Camcorders, tape recorders, CD burners, etc. will be required to include a chip that prevents them from making copies of the specially encoded materials.

15 minutes later hackers will circumvent it.

Criminal penalties will then be applied to anyone who circumvents the coding or tells anyone else how to do it.

ZThey will also put these codes on the CD which will make the quality of the recorded music WORSE.

The music industry grew in 2000 when Napster was in full swing and a lot of music was being downloaded. Napster was shut down (esentially) and the music business went in the tank. HELLO ANYBODY HOME...

When this doesn't revive sales for the media producers, thenext step will be a 'tax' on blank media and cd/dev burners ect. These Socialist corp want goverment welfare, redistribution of wealth from computer users to the media corps.

I don't have any MP3's cause the quality stinks and I pay for the music I own. The music business is a victim of their own business models, greed and are looking for a goverment handout.
