When is this going to stop?

"The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) filed the "Content Protection Status 
Report" with the Senate Judiciary Committee
last month, laying out its plan to remake the technology world to suit its own ends. 
The report calls for regulation of
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), generic computing components found in scientific, 
medical and entertainment devices. Under its
proposal, every ADC will be controlled by a "cop-chip" that will shut it down if it is 
asked to assist in converting copyrighted
material -- your cellphone would refuse to transmit your voice if you wandered too 
close to the copyrighted music coming from your
stereo."
