FROM PC WEEK -- APRIL 2, 1985 -- VOL 2 NO 13
PC USER GROUP SEEKS FREEDOM FROM COPY-PROTECTION BURDENS
A GROUP OF IBM PC USERS, DISTRAUGHT BY RECENT PROPOSALS
FOR HARDWARE-BASED SOFTWARE PROTECTION SCHEMES,
SUBMITTED A "BILL OF RIGHTS FOR SOFTWARE USERS"
TO LEADING SOFTWARE VENDORS AT YESTERDAY'S MEETING
OF THE ASSOCIATION OF DATA PROCESSING SERVICE
ORGANIZATIONS AT SOFTCON.
THE DOCUMENT FROM THE CAPITOL PC USERS' GROUP, BASED IN WASHINGTON,
SAYS THAT SOFTWARE USERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE THEIR SOFTWARE WITHOUT
"EXTRANEOUS FUNCTIONS" SUCH AS PROTECTION CODES AND AUTHORIZATION
DEVICES, ACCORDING TO DAVID BROWNING, THE USER GROUP'S DIRECTOR OF
VENDOR RELATIONS.
