Save Betamax!
No I don't want you to try and save the old betamax format. What I want you to save is your ability to use a VCR, mp3 player or even a DVD burner.
Back in the early 80's the Supreme Court made a ruling known as the Betamax Decision which made VCR's legal. This ruling has remained untouched since then until now. There is some legislation that may get passed in Congress to overrule that decision.
What does mean to you? We quite a bit. Do you use a VCR, Tivo, or any item that can record sound or video? I'll bet that you own me than one of these items. If the Betamax Decision is overruled all of those items could become illegal.
You may now be asking what you can do. There is a lot you can do. Go to savebetamax.org and read on ways you can help to stop this insane legislation.
