Wow. So is MythTV going to roll back any features that the industry
thinks are illegal? No more fast-forwarding through commercials? What
about introducing DRM? Is Myth going to obey the 'Delete 6 Feet Under
after 2 weeks' flag HBO put in? The attitude about Torrentocracy has
really made me rethink Myth, honestly. The thing that finally spurred me
on to build a Myth box was Tivo rolling over to the industry on
commercials. I'd hate to think that MythTV is going to be less than
useful to users too in an attempt at some kind of legitimacy with
industry. Torrentocray has the same "association" with illegal activity
as bittorrent, yes it can be used illegally but there are tons of legal
uses as well, as illustrated by the default feeds it installs. The idea
of an "approval" process that goes beyond the technical kind of fills me
with dread in a lot of ways but it's not my project. If it's being used
to keep out useful features though, that should make everyone involved a
little wary. I hope Issac or another developer can make some kind of
statement on this. Either way I'd like to know what the policy is going
to be.

I doubt it will be approved in the future as the issue isn't
legitimacy but the fact that the technology can easily be associated
with illegal (in some countries) file sharing of recorded television
programs and movies and this project doesn't need that kind of
association.
