Media companies on brink of awakening sleeping giant.
REPUGNANT SLIME
Royal Philips...what kind of backwoods fecal-cut HeroinMethCrack are you smoking!? I don't think I would blame anyone for resorting to piracy if this brand of "legitimate" TV viewing came to fruition.
Are you also patenting the leather belt-straps, catheters, and eyeclamps that will keep us forcibly in rapt attention and awe of the advertiser's sweet, sweet, enchanting ambrosia?
"FILE SHARING IS KILLING OUR BUSINESS!"
No. Corporations and lobbyists like you and your ilk are responsible. I honestly hope you succeed just so you can fail spectacularly and end these fruitless pursuits to make us pay for things we are already paying for, and make us rent the things we already own.
The broadcast flag, analog downsampling, captive audience programming, and the general dilution of consumer rights will only end in a backlash so fierce your revunues will hang themselves from your bottom lines. There's only so much you can trick Joe Consumer into believing he's supposed to take before his pocketbook overcomes his ignorance.
It's going to be an interesting few years.
