    Pot calling the Kettle Black

    The MPAA is the one stuck in time. They are stuck in the 90's where they thought that DRM was necessary to compete. Great article Mike I hope one day the MPAA will figure out how to compete in a modern day market place.

    @Twinrova I use MythTV and I can setup any recording to start either ontime or with whatever buffer I decide. It is a little bit of a pain if I were recording 2 shows back to back, because it just wouldn't record the second show, but that doesn't normally happen to me. So my dvr still works.

    I should also add that recently I am finding the streaming options from various stations rather compelling. I am really thinking about dropping TV altogether and opting for the streaming method...but I only do basic anyway so what is $10 a month?

    I like Indie Bands

    You know the thing is that he said all you would have is a bunch of band pages, but that is where I find the best music. I find some awesome music and bands that aren't signed or little known. They make the best music (far better than the big bands) and so the dooms day hypothetical that he thinks will happen would actually be a welcome relief to me. Freedom from all of the crap music being played on the top 20 stations. So yea in a way I hope the guys is right. Give away music and it spells doom to the major labels and the musicians they represent (CRAP!)

    Wow

    Doesn't get any better than this. Is this what the music industry is coming down to sue sue sue! If you aren't making enough money than just sue! What a world we live in.

    Score one for the Harvard Professor

    Wow that last quote was so glorious. I gave him a standing ovation right here in my office (yea heads turned). He took the words right of my mouth with this statement, "armed with a statute written by them and lobbied and quietly passed through a compliant congress, to march defendants through the federal courts to make examples out of them."

    I am so glad to see the Berkman center and Neeson finally fighting back. I hope the courts will finally get to the root of the problem.

    Hypocricy is rampant

    Hypocrisy is rampant within the *AA's. Did anyone else see the latest about the lawsuit over RedBox?
