    This is why the digital output is encrypted (HDCP) : to prevent this.

    The analog is also kind of protected (macrovision).

    Anyway, in the (near) future, all the chain from the source (DVD player) to the screen (plasma, LCD, ...) will be encrypted.

    Don't be so touchy.

    I just wanted to say that given the rate of human growth, we will run out of land and ressources well before being able to send numerous people to space colonies.

    Thus, the solution is here on the ground and not there in deep space :
    - slow human growth,
    - colonize the ocean (above and beneath),
    - whatever ...

    Yeah, we should start to fund a Stargate research project if we want to move billions of people to other planets ...

    Space colonization will never be a solution to the growing human population problem.

    A space colony will initially develop from a small number of people. We cannot deplace 2 billions people to Mars to make room on Earth !
