Philippine Senate Bill Pushes DRM
DRM anticircumvention laws are such a bad idea that the US Library of Congress actively creates exceptions to them. Norway even declared iTunes DRM illegal. That’s why I’m appalled to learn that Philippine Senate Bill 880 proposes all-encompassing DRM anticircumvention laws. CHAPTER XXI.

I wonder if some entity lobbied Angara to do this.
Sino kaya?
Mike, you’ll be happy to know that many are dropping off DRM because it is getting less popular today. Hence, US anti-piracy groups are opting for a Music Tax similar to the TV Tax in UK.

The Philippines is as always “a decade late”. Manggagaya na lang, late pa!!
Spidamang: As always, follow the money.
JC: That’s Philippine legislation for you: monkey see, monkey do. Ten years later.
Ano na namang katarantaduhan ito?!
Hehe, hindi na ako nagtataka. Puro BOBO ang mga pulitiko sa Pilipinas. Si Angara, isa yan sa mga PINAKA-BOBO. Dapat nga hindi Angara ang apelyido niyan eh.
Remember his campaign motto “Ang gara ng buhay.”?
Well, it should be
“ANG GAGO NI EDONG. ED ANGGAGO PARA SA SENADO.”
Hay, si Angara. Kung hindi niyo nalalaman, panahon pa ni Marcos iyang ungas na iyan. May political dynasty na nga sila sa isang probinsya. Hindi na natuto, naboboto kasi corrupt eh. Dapat ubusin na ang lahi nito para maging maayos ang Pilipinas.
