Ah but they want to make my analog HDTV completely obsolete & it's
only 2yrs old in the name of copyright protection.
My view is that if you feel a Rolex watch is grossly
overpriced, the recourse is to not buy one and not just to steal one
Agreed but then they came up with fair use & that muddied the waters.
I'm not sure that one making a DVD so they can watch it on the road
while the wife watched it at home is a copyright violation because if
he could he would'be watched at home. Heck I only pay $1/mo for my
DVR provided to me by my cable company & I'm sure the MPAA isn't
getting rich off of that. So who is violating the copyright when I
use the DVR, the cable company or me? </rhetorical>.
So you see I've may not have bought the Rolex of HDTVs but I did buy
an HDTV & why should I be punished after the fact is my point. I
don't know about you but I can't afford to throw a grand away every 2 years.
