TV Execs Don't Care If the Broadcast Flag Brings Confusion
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "THOUGHT" @ 11:00 AM
"It’s no secret that the networks are hell-bent on pushing through the Broadcast Flag, which they think will help prevent piracy of digital TV shows, but you won’t believe how a TV industry exec responded to Mike Godwin from Public Knowledge, one of the groups fighting the rule, during a talk he was giving about the rule."
A question to Rick Lane from News Corp: why on earth are the TV networks trying to actively achieve device (like TV and PVR) incompatibility? Isn't there too many things incompatible with each other already? Basically the TV networks are trying to make watching TV even harder, and worse for those people who don't know how to set their VCR to record a single TV show. Oh, the how much fun that will be! :roll:
