Highlights of the “Consumer Technology Bill of Rights” proposed to Congress by DigitalConsumer.org: 

— Users have the right to “time shift” content they have legally acquired. For example, viewers can tape a show and watch it later. 

— Users have the right to “space shift” content they have legally acquired. This means copying music on a CD to a portable player to be listened to while jogging, working out at the gym, etc. 

— Users have the right to make backup copies of content. 

— Users have the right to use legally acquired content on the platform of their choice. For example, watching TV on a computer or listening to music in digital form on a portable player.
