Yeah Suzi, I can explain it.....

And it's only going to get worse. I could see it when things like UCITA and the DMCA started showing up. The corporates are and have been motivated 100% by greed. The problem is, our legislators are giving them more and more authority and at the same time reducing consumer rights to an unreasonable level.

Look what has happened to TIVO lately. One can a record a show only to have someone else decide when it should be erased. Completely assinine.

Next up? Probably the digital broadcast flag. It all comes down to money. Always has and always will. Those with the money get the most attention in the legislature. It's also money that can stop the dirtbag corporates in their tracks. They will push the consumer as far as they possibly can and when the consumer finally approaches the point that they may stop buying, the intrusions will stop, but not until then.

In this, I consider myself and "early adopter". I've already stopped buying. Won't buy a digital recorder (especially TIVO), and won't buy copy protected CD's. Maybe someday the majority of consumers will wake up and tell the corporates where to get off.
