[Page] 238 [Quote from Patry’s book] In an irresponsible delegation of power, governments throughout the world have vested in large, multinational media companies and their trade associations, the ability to determine when and how new services may be offered to the public, including the features contained in consumer electronic goods. This delegation occurs through legislation that makes it a civil offense and a crime to circumvent digital locks that companies create without any governmental supervision. It is as if the police were paid from the tickets they hand out and got to make up the rules for when violations of law occur. [My Comments] 
Delegation of power? You cannot delegate that what you do not have. Since when do the governments have the right “to determine when and how new services may be offered to the public, including the features contained in consumer electronic goods”? Government supervision in protecting something that’s yours? Talk about Soviet-planned economies and contempt for the private sector!
