This seems a bit ironic... BSA against CDBTPA! by DaNutBall2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Help! It's the attack of the acronyms! (n/t) by Llyr2003-01-04 09:57:32
    oh fine... I'll tell you what they mean :-P by DaNutBall 2003-01-04 10:05:06
BSA = Business Software Alliance = M$ + others getting medievil on unlicenced copies of software
CDBTPA = Consumer Digital Broadband Technological Protection Act = DMCA #2 = "Fritz Bill"
TCPA = Trusted Computing Platform Association. Note that not all companies involved in the TCPA want to use this tech as DRM like M$ and Palladium want to do. "Trusted Computing" chips are already in some products, and are used as true protection methods instead of DRM lockdown.
