Japanese Digital TV Viewers Complain About DRM Restrictions

Posted by michael on from the wake-up-and-smell-the-tea dept.

Riktov writes "The Japan Times reports that that viewers of digital broadcast TV, which started this past April, are complaining to national broadcaster NHK about restrictions on recording. Many of the complaints seem to arise from viewers who are confused as to why they can't copy rather than angry that they can't copy, but in the end all viewers are learning the hard way about content restrictions."

    I'm particularly confused and particularly angry. Though not particularly Japanese.

    It's pronounced arsehole. The t, z, e and r are silent. It's like Hen3ry.
