Tech - "Analog Hole" Legislation Proposed

Next-Gen "Analog Hole" Legislation Proposed: "Sometimes I think that people feel that the MPAA is a bunch of Luddites,' Brad Hunt, chief technical officer of the MPAA, said in an interview Wednesday afternoon. 'In this case, we are trying to incent the consumer to embrace the digital conversion, the digital connection...and that's why we need to drive this technology forward."

So... you can't "incent" the consumer to upgrade so you'll try legislating him into it? Luddite seems to be an understatement.
