I would go further in that I'm not keen on this being applied to telephones either (which could arguably outlaw devices that can change IMEI. Very glad to hear the 'unauthorized' language has been dropped, but still find it quite problematic. <div><br></div><div>And counterfeit is, as Parminder says, problematic enough. We've just seen a big issue in which a Windows Update was used to deliver an FTDI driver (a chip used in many simple USB peripherals) was delivered that 'bricked' counterfeit chips. While I wouldn't argue against use of IP law to stop counterfeiting (without wishing to dip into that complex issue), the idea that if a device is counterfeit is permissable to attempt to effectively destroy end users private property is outrageous. We need to stop that kind of thinking, that manufacturers intellectual property rights trump consumer rights and property rights. </div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 31 Oct 2014, at 2:01 pm, parminder <<a href="mailto:parminder@itforchange.net">parminder@itforchange.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">

I think one of the important issue right now is possible addition
of "unauthorised" to "counterfeit" devices (which is bad enough)
in draft new resolution on counterfeit devices.<br>
<br>
It is almost catastrophic wrt FoE and freedom of innovation if
every single device that has to ever employ IP based connectivity
has to be "authorised". What worked for telephones cannot in the
same way work in a pervasive IP environment where the
possibilities of devices, applications etc is near limitless, and
one should be able to , as they say, 'innovate at the edges'. <br>
<br>
Hope this can be stopped somehow.<br>
<br>
On a different note, you have referred two commentaries on the
India proposal. If you also link my email on the subject which is
at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.igcaucus.org/arc/governance/2014-10/msg00229.html">http://lists.igcaucus.org/arc/governance/2014-10/msg00229.html</a>
the commentaries would perhaps be more balanced..<br>
<br>
Thanks for this excellent work and reference<br>
