Anti-Copying TV Technology Creeps Forward

An anonymous reader writes: " After CDs, then comes TV? Although the technologies being spoken about are supposedly to prevent online sharing of television content as digital network television is born, the extents of the control being spoken of is alarming. When I purchase my next television recording device, will I be able to chose to record my favorite show while I am away from home? Will I be able to record one show while watching another? Or will I be at the mercy of the network ... only allowed to record should they *want* me to record. It could be possible to prevent the recording of first-run shows, forcing either-or choices (and affecting ratings and advertising rates,) rather than allowing us to watch one, record another."

Every troll in the freaking world has identified themselves by posting on that thread. I suppose that Boris is one in the same with the rest of the robots represented there and that Boris recieves a good size pay check from MicroShit for his dirty work disrupting this site. Who else but a large ISP or other company would have enough IP space to spoof Slashdot like that. It should also be obvious that the mod points accumulated by all those accounts has been used lately to abuse legitimate posters and disrupt communications in general.

If it were up to me, I'd delete your account, the troll accounts you created and all of your posts. What reason is there to waste space archiving all that bullshit? You have wasted a great deal of time, contributed nothing, and prevented others from having an intelligent conversation. Go away.
