help fight the "super-DMCA" in Tennessee

The so-called “super-DMCA” legislation is gaining momentum here in Tennessee. This legislation is being presented as merely an “update” to existing legislation to protect cable theft. But its overly broad language and extreme measures mean it has ramifications that can make illegal the use of anything from encryption, to a firewall or NAT device. The bills are ridiculous and badly-conceived legislation formed as a direct result of heavyhanded lobbying by the MPAA.

The bills can be found here:

• House bill HB0457 (PDF)
• Senate bill SB0213 (PDF)
