If discussing topics like the Broadcast Flag, Analog Hole, AACS, and Net Neutrality get you riled up, you’re in for a treat. Fred von Lohmann, Senior Intellectual Property Attorney of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), gets us up to speed on current legislation and what the consequences might be if consumers don’t start taking action now against fair-use crippling technologies. The interview is not all doom and gloom, though, but the topics covered should be a matter of concern to those who enjoy their freedom to use legally acquired media in any which way they choose.
