The problem is the industry is placing restrictions on content that I =
paid for. The prattle about piracy is just a Trojan horse to restrict a =
users rights to digital media and I suspect in a decade we'll see =
retention and layback limits will be the norm. The industry has tried it =
before with limited playback DVDs that no one wanted and which were a =
colossal flop. Now they are attempting that scheme again - ( hopefully =
with similar results  )

     I have no doubt the thinking is the same or similar to macrovision =

a perfect copy.

     It's all the content providers.  Folks responsible for the players =
