Why do you make everything personal? I make a statement that I believe =
reflects the reality of the situation and you turn it into a personal =
dig.

Do you have any idea of how many thousands of dollars I have spent on =
pre-recorded DVD's? I have a bookcase that is 6 shelves of nothing but =
commercial DVDs so don't give me that steal shit. I buy what everything = I
want (heck I own 2 copies of the firefly series, one for me and one = for
loaning to friends), if I download the same thing to save me the = work of
ripping and encoding it too fucking bad, that's called format = shifting
and it's defendable in court.

what I don't do, is accept that how I use the DVD's I buy is anyone's =
business but mine. I have not signed any contracts to further expand the =
copyright holders rights beyond those provided by US copyright law.

So, when the new HD-DVD's come out, I may buy them but I'll be damned if =
I'm going to let anyone tell me I can't watch them on whatever device I =
have. But that's me, I'm a geek who understands how to make this stuff =
work as I want.

Everyone else will have their own reasons, and I believe that many of =
them who find their high resolution LCD monitors, HD TV's, $9k plasma =
TV's won't allow them to play HD content via dvi input are going to find =
a way to make them play HD content, and I believe that solution stands a =
very good chance of including the fileshare networks, which is going to =
really hurt the market that requires special copyprotection enabled =
hardware.

They idiots are providing more motivation to violate copyrights. A lot =
more motivation.

    HDCP is such a stupid idea. All it takes is one person to hook into =
