I'm with you...I wouldn't tollerate the MPAA or my cable company telling me I can't use my TIVO. Best we can do is get more people to use TIVO (more of a lobbying base to fight these people.) Hopefully TIVO is aware of this potential threat and is working through their lobbiests to make sure it doesn't happen.
Dachshund, very well said. I'd recommend you do some editor inheritance and send this piece to your Congresscritter and Senators.
Again, very well done!
One of my favorite teachers was my high school senior English teacher Mr. Brunetti. While this was obviously a not technically oriented class:-), his love and enthusiasm for his subject made it a fun experience. In fact, he one time assigned a 3000 word essay on Hamlet. We were so determined to impress him we were turing in thesis. One person turned in 21 hand written pages. I turned in 18 if I recall correctly. When he returned the papers he thanked us for our hard work but asked that we please keep around the length assigned. (After all, that poor man had to READ all that stuff we wrote:-))

Thats why I switched to Verizon...exactly the same sort of experience.
