If it doesn't come up for you, just give it an hour or two.

Quoting Alan Dayley <alandd at consultpros.com>:

> The House Committee on the Judiciary had H.R. 4569, "The Digital
> Transition Content Security Act of 2005" formally introduced this weekend.
> This is the bill that would make it illegal to "manufacture, import,
> offer to the public, provide or otherwise traffic" in products that do not
> prevent recording and/or copying via the analog output of a device.
>
> That's right, no analog recording.  It would essentially kill fair use.
> No more time shifting, for example.  I found coverage first at
> http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20051218-5797.html, though I am sure
> it will start showing up all over the net.
>
> Representative Jeff Flake (http://www.house.gov/flake/contact.htm) is the
> only Arizonan on the committee.  Please write to him and other committee
> members (http://judiciary.house.gov/CommitteeMembership.aspx) and your
> other federal representatives.  Software freedom is important and so are
> other informational freedoms we enjoy.
