Biden and Feinstein and 2 GOPers want mandatory DRM in podcasts with music:
From Slashdot:
Knytefall writes
"Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, and two GOP senators are sponsoring a bill called the PERFORM Act that would require podcasts with music and satellite radio to be locked-up with music industry-approved DRM software. From the article: 'All audio services — Webcasters included — would be obligated to implement "reasonably available and economically reasonable" copy-protection technology aimed at preventing "music theft" and restricting automatic recording.'"

:grr:

We can't do anything without being locked in. This is getting pretty fucking old already. Who knew Feinstein and Biden were sell-outs to the RIAA?
