The Hollings copyright bill would shoehorn absurd copy-blocking technology into everything from your Palm Pilot to your digital camera. Is this progress?

i.e. - what about existing systems? The definition makes it illegal to move a computer or printer until retrofitted. Retrospective legislation is not feasible in the UK, is the US not the same?
The definition is so broad it covers almost anything that can make marks on paper - e.g. a phootocopier.
It even covers a pen, since i can write numbers with it.....
