More insane legislation from hollywood... I guess we'll all need special digital speakers in our cars someday:

The agreement, in its current form, requires that manufacturers cease selling any devices capable of analog video output which pass decrypted AACS content after December 31, 2013.

This isn't off topic, we need to shut this stuff down before any time we want to play music or a video in our cars we have to give a credit card number.

I guess the message is, get ready to buy every old analog style box you can when the new ones start coming out.
