IPac - Defending the public interest where culture and technology meet

IPac - Defending the public interest where culture and technology meet

Last week I wrote about the net neutrality act and how the ISP are looking to take more money from you and take away your freedom of choice. This group is all about finding politics to stand behind to protect your rights as technology users.

As it stands now if you own a CD and you want to put the music on an iPod and there is copy protection on the CD.... You are breaking the Copyright Act and can be sued. Companies are putting money into politicians pockets for their, which is yet another problem of being able to buy votes. This group will try and fight but they need your support to do so.

If you want to be able to record a show and put it on a DVD or vcr tape you will not be able to if the big companies get their way. Technology restrictions are getting out of hand, not being able to listen to music you bought in all your devices or being able to watch a show or movie in any device you own, or not even being able to make a backup in case your bought DVD doesn't get ruined, is ridiculous.
