I don't exactly understand. What will _totally_ obsolete your HDTV and
how does copyright figure in?
Were talking about 2 different things here. The MPAA & others are
wanting to add a "broadcast flag" claiming that all they're doing is
protecting their copyrights which I'm not against but the fact that
the "broadcast flag" will only work with digitally connected HDTV
sets. It's not a format change as laser disks & betamax was but
rather an add on. This is more like locking the door after the big
bad burglar is in your house in that they're literally millions of
sets out there that are not digitally connected not to mention the
dvd players that people have connected via analog component cables.
I'm not against copyrighted material just deliberately breaking what
already works because they didn't have the foresight to protect
themselves I have to throw away an otherwise perfectly good HDTV set.
I don't think so & shall fight with every ounce of my being.
