Okay, maybe I don't get what the poster is saying, maybe I'm just a fool, but blocking port 25 will not just kill all spam relaying, it will kill all incoming mail. See, SMTP isn't just a protocol used by your email client to send mail, it is also used by mail servers to talk to eachother.
Perhaps the suggestion is to only allow relays on an authenticated connection? Okay, that solves the problem, but there is a world of difference between doing that and simply blocking port 25 altogether.
You have a point, the RIAA and MPAA are becoming quite indistinguishable from the government. I can see how you could mistake them for government agencies.
Supposedly, it has internal variables that store the state of your device (which they are somehow trying to patent). This technique _is_ flawed in that it will only function properly if you use _only_ this remote to control your devices, but the review also mentions a function that allows one to change the values of these veriables, in the event that they become out of sync with the real world.

Mankind went a heck of a lot longer than 2000 years without internal combustion engines.
