TPMs should in fact be regulated. A company that introduces a TPM should also bear responsibility for any damage it may do to customers' equipment or data. That is not unreasonable by a long chalk.
DPF mentions the format-shifting in the bill:
__I do not rule out that the bill which leaves select committee may be unacceptable and if so I'd oppose it being passed. But I think the status quo of no format or time shifting exemptions is an appalling one, and provides far greater risks to consumers being stung.__
The two-year "sunset clause" plus the ability to contract out of format-shifting, as contained in the text of the bill, make that particular provision just a play for the galleries.

The soup looked a little bit like this....

It's a little hard to comment on things in a multi-category blog entry without risking the appearance of being uncaring or something but cordyceps... when I was in Malaysia, one of my favourite medicinal soups was made with black chicken and cordyceps. Good for you, and I don't mind the mushrooms sprouting out of the empty waste once occupied by my brain.
However, you should not get that stuff out of a packet. Many of the Chinese made ones contain arsenic and mercury.

DPF's faith in the political process is touching, but amounts to painting lipstick on a pig. You cannot sort out at select committee stage legislation that is fundamentally flawed, as Tanczsos has kindly pointed out to us.

Could this be the start of yet another life long feud between respected men of letters?
... inflicting the unkindest paper cuts on one another?

Hush! This is one of many chapels dedicated to the worship of St Bono. Blasphemers and irreligionists the lot of you!

It's worth noting that both DVD Region Free and Videolan are likely to be outlawed by the new legislation.
We really need to stop and think about what's actually happening here: the government is proposing to make certain actions by a large swathe of the population criminal offences.
Who will enforce the new laws? Not the government, but those with vested interest, namely the movie and recording studios representatives.
That's not something we should just go "oh well, let's see what happens" over and forget about next week.
