Laura touched a bit on this in one of the other fourms, but I thought I'd bring it up here. Gateway is launching a new campaign to go against the SSSCA or CBDTPA or whatever the copy protection bill is being called now. Ted Waitt has been one of the best representitives on why this bill shouldn't be passed, and it looks like he is willing to spend money in the face of a failing company to get his point across.

http://gateway.com/home/deals/offers/music/dmz.shtml is a site to download legal MP3 files, and burning them to CD is encouraged (On a Gateway PC preferriably).

With both Apple and Gateway now supporting fair use in a big way, something is going to have to give down the road. It's just nice to know that not all companies are against the consumer like the record industry seems to be as of late.

Imagine that, the RIAA dosen't like the ad. They seem to think Gateway is just doing this to sell more CD burners instead of trying to help the situation.

Well, for sure Gateway wants to sell more systems, and more with CD burners, but they also participate in the Copy Protection Technical Working Group.
