The document filed by the CSC requested a public hearing/inquiry on the monopolistic business practices of General Instrument Corporation and the distribution and sale to consumers by the General Instrument division of Forstmann Little Corporation of a defective descrambling product which is used by consumers and cable operators to unscramble programming delivered over satellite. As a research and development firm which has spent the past three years developing a universal scrambling system designed to run multiple encryption and decryption processes through one single decoder, we submit that General Instrument has deceived the pUblic, the governments of the united States and Canada, television programmers, hollywood producers, satellite and consumer electronic retailers, and the manufacturers of Integrated Receiver Descramblers in the sales and upgrade programs associated with its videocipher II scrambling system, (exhibit A). Through our work as a well-respected research and development company who has been

Medress, General Instrument Corporation Elizabeth H. Prodromou, M.I.T., Rapporteur __ ·~~~__~_~~____ This session of the MIT Communications Forum brought together three speakers for a discussion of issues related to direct broadcast satellite technology and services. The idea of direct-to-home satellite television has been around for many years, but it exists in America primarily for those who do not connect to a cable system. However, the possiblity of high power satellites, flat receiver dishes as small as a serving tray, 256 ahannels on one bird and HDTV have created new opportunities for communications that could exceed the potential of cable. Most plans involve the first widespread use of digital video as a consumer item, a fundamental change to television. The speakers in this panel will address the broadcasting plans and technical innovations for new approaches to DBS that are slated to go on- the-air as early as next year. Prof. Andrew Lippman of the MIT Medi Laboratory introduced the speakers, with some summary opening remarks on direct broadcast satellite (DBS) technology. He noted that, while the Communications Forum periodically has held discussions on HDTV, today's discussion was somewhat different than those in the past insofar as the discussion will point to the convergence between many programming and technological developments.

Hux, 940 F.2d 314 (8th Cir. 1991) In United States v. Hux I the Eighth Circuit concluded that the Wire- tap Law2 did not proscribe the modification of satellite descramblers to 3 receive encrypted programming. On two occasions, an undercover agent requested that the defendant, Austin Jerry Hux, modify a satellite descrambler module* to receive pre- mium pay television channels without the user paying the provider of the program.' Hux performed both of these modifications and received $400 for each.6 A Federal Grand Jury returned a four-count indictment against Hux: two counts of manufacturing an electronic device for the purpose of sur- reptitiously intercepting electronic communications under the Wiretap 1.

    I The Black Box Newsletter Page 7 The Serial Number and lhe VC II The VC II is an addre~able device that can decode satellite signals. This addressability feature allows the device to be turned on or off from a remote computer which sends out a data stream of authorized serial numbers with the satellite signal. When a VC II is turned on to a scrambled channel. it reads the data stream. checks for a valid serial number, and if it does not find one. it bypasses the decoding logic in its memory, and the channel remains scrambled. If you knew a serial number that was authorized to receive all encrypted channels (such as the ones used in the MIA-Com test lab, or used by certain cable companies), and then could alter the serial number in your VC II to be the same, your VC II would de-scramble all the channels for you. The serial number of the VC II is on one single chip in the VC II (I can't tell you which one), and can be reprogrammed using and EPROM burner and a personal computer. In order for you to alter the serial number on your VC II, you must know three things: 1) the chip number to be reprogramed, 2) the address in the chip containing the serial number, 3) and a valid serial to use. To get this information you will have to either know someone who can tell or sell you the information or the chip, or have two VC lIs.

  • Copyright, Technological Protection Measures and Their Acceptance by Consumers in Japan
    Copyright, Technological Protection Measures and Their Acceptance by Consumers in Japan 1 2 3 BRANISLAV HAZUCHA, HSIAO-CHIEN LIU, AND TOSHIHIDE WATABE Abstract In the early days of digital reproduction and internet communication technologies, technological protection measures were deemed to prevent potential copying of copyrighted works by the users of such technologies. However, the most of technological protection measures used so far were quickly circumvented after their introduction. This led to the development and use of more and more advanced technological protection measures, which were also quickly circumvented after their introduction. Therefore, the conventional view on the efficiency of using technological protection measures is that their use leads to a vicious circle of their circumvention and upgrading. To examine the efficiency of technological protection measures, we conducted an online survey in Japan. A random sample of 1,252 internet users was asked to respond to a series of multiple-choice questions on their consumption of copyrighted works and their acceptance of or objection to selected restrictions on various uses of copyrighted works. By analyzing collected data, we identified that an individual’s decision on the acceptance or rejection of such technological and other restrictions on using copyrighted works is affected by factors such as gender, type of copyrighted works, perception of justified use, and actual use of copyright works. In addition, we observed considerable differences between the importance of individual types of copyrighted works and their uses for consumers. Some types of copyrighted works and their uses were more important for respondents than others. In many cases, the respondents’ judgments were consistent with the current copyright law and practice in Japan.
