Well, it seems that the Implementing Rules and Regulations for the
Optical Media Board has been approved. See here:

Copy of the law (RA 9239): http://www.ops.gov.ph/records/ra_no9239.htm

I just noticed this line:

"Similar to laws passed in other countries, the Optical Media Law
institutes means to regulate the manufacture, mastering, and
replication of optical media in the Philippines."

So, does this mean even burn fests and distributions of Free and Open
Source Software, like Linux, is also regulated under this law?
