[dvd-discuss] Correction: ReplayTV: Some Citizens, Some Not

["Rares Marian" <rmarian(at)linuxmail.org>]

Somewhere there's a "right not to xyz" being infringed here.

Forcing people to say a certain thing is just as much censorship as muzzling them on other topics.

What of independent film makers?  DRM costs extra money for content producers when they buy equipment.  It costs the viewer much less because the manufacturers are the publishers.  One item sold at loss equals many items sold at profit.

Sony Records = Sony Electronics = Sony.
Sony = Sony = Sony.

If the technical measure is assumed and integrated it hurts everyone who doesn't use it.

I wouldn't care if the non-DRM alternatives were not targetted out of existence.

the point. Society must want to protect copyright (as .002 pointed
out the 
reaction to many as somebody tries to swipe a paper while your have
the dorr 
open on the paper stand after you've paid your money is "get your won
DA*MNED 
paper"). Putting in technological measure now means that society has
no 
responsibility to protect copyright. Ergo. Society will not protect
copyright 
and it's down the tubes.
