reminds me of college when a group of 20 or so of us would cram into Teddy and John's suite to watch x-files on their tiny rabbit-ear TV :)

i will totally make millions one day, instead of producing a product i'll just claim infringment against profits since random strangers fail to just hand me money when i demand it from them.

or i will go to jail for extortion, wait how come it's illegal when I do it and not for them? so not fair

HDCP is being built into all HD products, but they've agreed not to turn on any of its vile features until 2009/2010.
