Famed hardware hacker Bunnie Huang announces his newest project and goes into detail about how trouble from the DMCA was the impetus. He comments that unchecked power to license freedom of expression should not be trusted to corporate interests. The project, NeTV2, is being crowdfunded.

I'd like to share a project I'm working on that could have an impact on your future freedoms in the digital age. It's an open video development board I call NeTV2.

It's related to a lawsuit I've filed with the help of the EFF against the US government to reform Section 1201 of the DMCA. Currently, Section 1201 imbues media cartels with nearly unchecked power to prevent us from innovating and expressing ourselves, thus restricting our right to free speech.

At Boing Boing : Innovation should be legal; that's why I'm launching NeTV2

    Yes we get it, you're still a dummy pushing an agenda so hard you're eyes are stuck.

    I think most people are done trying to have a rational discussion with you since you've developed a personal litmus test for "voluntary agreements" and refuse to acknowledge the limitations and frequent edge cases where your new version of society completely breaks down and/or reverts back to centralized governments. So at least I will stick to the first sentence, you're a dummy with a rigid brain but we all have hope that one day you'll grow a bit.

    Anyway, I don't really understand what your rebuttal is supposed to mean or what it's based on; it looks like a word salad for "Let's agree to disagree."

      Nope, I'll agree you've got blinders on. I find all your reasoning to be naive and actively harmful, agree to disagree is saved for opinions where both are potentially valid. Your reasoning is simply flawed.

        That sounds more like your world view is being poked. Better censor your opposition.

          Ah yes, the sensitive conservative who can't stand someone criticizing their ideas and must roll out the persecution card. #sad
