I fear that this really is what it's all about: Jobs wants to create
the iMovie Download Store and copy-protection-on-the-chip is the bait
to get the big movie houses to agree.
That bothers the h377 out of me.
Apple has always been pretty laissez-faire about copying for personal-use.
If this is a sea-change then it bodes ill for our ability to use
owned material for any purpose, so long as we do not redistribute it.
The Supreme Court delineated personal-usage rights when they decided
that we could make tapes for our cars. Now the big studios want to
deprive us of the right to tape shows from HDTV for later viewing.
I'm pretty sure that the slimeballs are winning and I don't like it
one damn bit.
