The classic computing hobby aside, The CBDTPA is
stupid on a number of
levels. Most electronics manufacturers are against it, for example. They
say it will discourage innovation and slow the development of new
products. Civil libertarians oppose it for potential privacy issues and
its likelihood of impeding the free flow of information.
And besides, it's unimplementable. Mostly due to the fact that someone
will ALWAYS find a way around the "protection".
