On Boing Boing Cory Doctorow tears apart Senator Dianne Feinstein’s e-mail reply to constituents who wrote in about Broadcast Flag.
Practically every sentence in this letter is a lie:
- As we move forward in the digital age, it is increasingly easy for
unauthorized copies of copyrighted works to be made and illegally
distributed.- Lie: Steps needed to put analog-broadcast video on your computer: 1. Install capture card; 2. Press record. Steps needed to put digital-broadcast video on your computer: 1. Install capture card; 2. Press record.
This leaves us with only one question: is DiFi stupid, or is she a liar? Either way, Feinstein should be ashamed of herself.
You didn’t realize she was an idiot already??
