MPAA attempts to rebrand themselves

CNET News.com is reporting in an article with another one of their unambiguous URLs that six studios are dissatisfied with the way the Motion Picture Association of America has been going after copyright infringement, so their plan is to call their efforts content protection instead of anti-piracy.

I’ve got an even better term to describe their intentionally misleading activities that will save them horizontal screen real estate on their website: irrelevant.

Could this mean the end for Free and Open Source Software?The "Fairness Engine" rant episode!

A rant episode in response to a new technology reported by Webware and an article calling the exposing of P2P as a red herring; talking about net neutrality, attacking symptoms not causes, RIAA/MPAA inspired bullying tactics. Not the same calibre as a Jimbob Kloss rant but I try my best!

Also briefly talk about a fascinating interview article from Slashdot from the inventor of C++, and the internets are working again at home!
