Mike Godwin, formerly staff counsel for the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, weighs in with his opinions on CPRM, Content Protection
for Recordable Media:
"This combination of law and hardware means that there's a real
possibility that someday soon I won't be able to choose between
computer products that employ such schemes and those that don't. If
that day comes, I don't know how the market will respond, but I
know how I will. To the extent possible, I'll stop buying new
computer equipment altogether. I'm guessing at least some other
computer buyers will make that decision, too."
