IN GENERAL- A manufacturer, importer, or seller of digital media devices may not--

(1) sell, or offer for sale, in interstate commerce, or

(2) cause to be transported in, or in a manner affecting, interstate commerce,

a digital media device unless the device includes and utilizes standard security technologies that adhere to the security system standards adopted under section 3.

Section 3 states, pretty much, that a system must be able to prevent music from being copied. Since there is no way to implement this in hardware (try to differentiate between music data and other sorts of data -- it's impossible), it would have to be implemented in software. Since motherboard manufacturers, for example, cannot include software, they would be prohibited from shipping them.

This bill is the sort of bullshit that really pisses me off. Why can we not simply prosecute people who infringe on copyrights, something that is already illegal, rather than trying to legislate against things that have other legitimate uses?
