DVD software controversy

[Lena Rowe <lrowe@SCIOTOJVS.K12.OH.US>]

I need information on something I just heard about in passing.

Have any of you heard about the possibility of a media industry
group trying to get DVD burning software voted in as illegal for
purchase?  The information I am getting is that it was voted down
once, but the media group is still pushing for this to happen.

Our school is in the process of purchasing computers and wants to
know about this before decisions are made.

Sorry if this is not accurate, I really don't have the whole story and
am hoping you can help me.
