The EFF has put up a comprehensive list of gadgets, like AD converters,
that are endangered and could become illegal.

Starting point is the argument between MPAA and Sony about VCR recorders.
In those days Sony won and we got VCR's. Things are changing and a lot of
standard studio equipment might become illegal soon.
In general, the music industry doesn't like recording and processing of
audio and video, and is working to get laws accepted to forbid these
nasty activities.

Make it illegal for me to playback and/or copy music that I myself have
written, performed and recorded, and that I myself am sole copyright
holder, and I will lead us in the march on the Capitol.

But until then, the sky is not falling.

I'm a card carrying member of the EFF, by the way, and I have been from
the very beginning.
