Mullica Hill, NJ | Also in the article Fox is quoted as saying "Violating copyrights" that will bite them in a court. If the DVR does not alter the content and is only effectively fastforwarding that does not fall under copyright.

Customer choice destroys the fundamental underpinnings of the broadcast television echo system ehh? Broadcast tv only works when you can only watch one show at a time?
Let's just take back those airwaves and make them high speed universal internet. |

kudos:3 | I also love how they claim this undermines "free television" when the very people that would be helping to violate this very ecosystem are PAYING for the "free" television. I think the broadcasters have long forgotten the last crap they pulled on the American people by taking free television and forcing payment on it.
Perhaps they should no longer need advertisements to be displayed on cable and satellite subscribers since they get money every month.
Also, it's not a violation of copyright to allow a consumer to skip an advertisement. The decision to view or not view content isn't a violation of copyright... never has been, never will be.
Don't these dinosaurs already have enough billions in dollars that they would really need to continue to push the American people even further into crap they don't want? Just who exactly are these broadcasters trying to protect anyway? |

Mullica Hill, NJ | In a way CATV and Sat customers have every right to skip ads, Retrans fees are paying for their viewing of the channel.
