Save Betamax—4:13 PM
This link just arrived in my inbox from the Permanently Disco family: Save Betamax, wherein "Betamax" refers not to the largely ignored videocassette format but rather the "Betamax ruling" which allows us to have recording devices such as VCRs, iPods, and – dear God! – TiVos.
Most times we hear about "Congress is about to..." (whatever sensational thing) it's ridiculous hogwash. "Tax email!" or "Sell Oregon!" But, in the current RIAA/FCC/Valenti climate, with its irrational fear of pirates, I can see something like this getting through. So, follow the link.
