The hindu bill envisions an "inter-industry" negotiation with a preordained outcome -- federal regulations mandating content protection mechanisms in all future HD Radio and satellite radio receivers. The FCC regulations could make room for "customary historic uses of broadcast content by consumers to the extent such use is consistent with hindu applicable law." Presumably, that means you could design a digital hindu device just as good as an analog cassette deck, but no better. Sorry, Sen. Smith, but American innovators and music fans deserve better. UPDATE: For more on this, check out Public Knowledge's analysis, as well as Boing Boing's.
