Realistically though, how many people out there would put up with this?
I watch TV now because its easy and cheap. You make it complicated with
multi-tiered pricing and a multitude of restrictions, TV loses much of
its value. I will look for entertainment elsewhere. When consumers
stop viewing their awful and overpriced content, that'll be the day
they'll start to switch back to the current model which has made them
trillions and trillions of dollars over the years. There's only so far
corporate greed will go before consumers get turned off and look
elsewhere for entertainment.
I'm sorry, but Desperate Housewives isn't worth the hassle.

Oh you'd be surprised, Jonathan. People who decide to opt out of TV
will be very much in the majority, as bitter a pill to swallow as the
costs will be. So the best course of action will be to tell these
profiteers that their greed isn't acceptable from the word 'go'.
It strikes me as rather odd that nobody has yet mentioned that one of
the most annoying things about this new DRM scheme (as with other DRM
schemes) is that propriatary technology is involved. Yep - another
single company holding the rights to obligatory rights management.
Isn't this considered anti-competitive? I wonder how many members of
congress and MPAA execs have vested interests in the companies who
create DRM tech.... then it'd be a serious conflict of interest.. don't
you guys in the US have rules about that kind of thing?
