MPAA to Help Parents Delete Files
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 09:00 AM
"Being the helpful people that they are, the MPAA has announced a software package ostensibly aimed at helping parents determine if P2P software and/or illegally downloaded songs or movies are resident on a computer. The tool will then assist parents in removing such software and deleting any purportedly illegal files. Of course, these days there are many, many ways to legally download songs. And it's still legal -- at least for now -- to rip one's own CD or DVD collection onto a computer. So I'd expect that, in addition to many genuinely illicit files, all sorts of legally downloaded and ripped files will be getting cleaned out."
I know that many of you reading DMT are parents. So have you chatted with your children about the "evils" of downloading music off of the web?
