+1 This is an extremely important consumer protection issue. I
would also note that it has the side effect of obliterating <b>their
</b>IP rights. My, what a complicated world we live in.<br>

I agree with Parminder. 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>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>

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>

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 moz-do-not-send="true"

the commentaries would perhaps be more balanced..<br>

Thanks for this excellent work and reference<br>
