Sooner or later these companies are going to push too hard and go too far. History shows that once that happens, serious government regulation follows. Buying off Congress critters only works as long as the general public is not seriously pissed. Once they become seriously pissed, Congress has to listen, lobbyists or no lobbyists. The question only remains as to how long it will be before these companies get the general public (as opposed to us tech types) seriously pissed. They are working on it. <g>
Hmmm, I wonder if an HD-SDI mod would eliminate these DRM issues?
