Japanese pissed over DRM Restrictions

Seems Japanese TV Viewers are complaining about DRM restrictions. Being they are not used to having to deal with such harsh copy / copyright restrictions they have every right to complain they pay for their programming as most of us do. I think the backlash will be the loudest in the United States when the heavy hand of the MPAA and RIAA start affecting peoples fair use rights. [Slashdot]

    The Japanese arn’t the only ones pissed. Bush hass leaned on the Canadian Government to change our laws to help the RIAA (not the artist). Only good news is your courts are making the record labels redo their accounting for their artists pension plans . Sam Moore just went from $63 to $8000 a month and their still looking at the books for 300 more artists. The really good news is since the companies didn’t make their side of the pension plan payments it comes out of their “Porche for all of us ” fund
