Compromise copyright bill in works - John Borland
Opponents of Hollywood’s drive to strengthen copyright law are mounting a new strategy: Require anything that has antipiracy technology built in to be clearly labeled and let consumers decide at the cash register.

Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said he was close to introducing a bill that would likely require consumer electronics devices or media such as music CDs to be clearly labeled with explanations of any anti-copying restrictions. Several other legislators are preparing, or have already introduced, bills that contain labeling provisions that apply to specific devices or media such as digital televisions or audio CDs.
