TiVo Has to Fund Your Local Stadium
Strudelkugel writes "The Washington Post has a truly Kafka-esque article regarding TiVo, the broadcast flag, the NFL and limited file sharing. "TiVo, the company that makes the digital-video-recorder boxes that inspire such strange idolatry among their users, is in a weird spot.

Okay, I'll give up government sponsored stadiums if we cut out all of the Great Society and New Deal welfare programs (short list: Social Security, AFDC/Welfare, WIC, Medicare, Medicaid, NCLB, Medicare Prescription Drug benefit, FMLA, and government unemployment insurace). Want to take a guess at to Bread or Circuses costing more?
