SonicBlue Ordered to Spy on ReplayTV Viewers

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Got outrage? According to a story on SiliconValley.com, a federal magistrate has ordered SonicBlue to track ReplayTV users' every click to see what they're watching, recording, skipping (commercials) and e-mailing to friends. The info is to be given to the entertainment industry control freaks who are suing SonicBlue for allegedly abetting copyright violations."

Redundant

Ok so many things about this piss me off I don't really know where to start, but I had to get it off my chest;

First off, the lesson we seem to be teaching our youth today is this:

If you have lots of money, you can buy anything, judges, freedom, not guilty verdicts, senators, government.

Everyone wonders why my generation, (stuck between the 70's crap er disco and GenX) is so frigging jaded. We see it, we see it, but we can't do anything about it.....all I gotta say is, when it's OUR generations turn to run things, look out, cause obviously, the generation doing things now plain DOES NOT GET IT(TM).

One last (-1 Redundant) thing:

I bought the damned thing, didn't sign any contracts that state I must watch commercials, *OR* that you would be able to see my viewing habits. BTW, are viewers being told their data is being recorded? As Bart would say, I didn't think it was possible for something to suck and blow at the same time.

Any IRS agents read /.? Check this judges financial statements next year, I bet he has a nice "donation" from an "un-named source".

Bah, piss on them, just wait til it's our turn to screw up the country :)
