Ahh, but you aren't looking at the BIG PICTURE.
The big picture of the future is forced support of the TCPA chip. Remember, your computer won't play any music, video, content unless it's compatible with the TCPA chip. Period. OSS will be made illegal. Importing non TCPA computers will be illegal. Using encryption on your internet connection will be illegal. Remember, this is a control issue, and they need to close all the loopholes.
All the legislation is tied together. They want to close any and all 'loopholes' which will allow a customer to view conent the way the customer wants to. Remember, you exist to support the **AA's and the big corporations, not the other way around. -- Grand Poobah | |  radarman

| Well, when that happens, I will probably stop watching.
Crap, I could probably live without a TV at all, were it not for my wife. When the day comes that TV has mandatory advertising that you aren't allowed to skip, record, or otherwise make more palatable - I'll just stop watching.
That is what these companies should really be scared of. They can control how you view, but they can't make you view. If they make it bad enough - I suspect more and more people will get fed up, and go do something else. | |   guitarzan Premium join:2004-05-04 Skytop, PA

Thanks for bringing up the real agenda here.It's what the deal is about, as one can see from the company that is applying for a patent to control it. -- Bass....the glue of rhythm and harmony...the heartbeat of the band.!
