Recording Restricted

When the videotape in the VCR is replaced by a hard drive so that the copy made is as good as the original and can be shared over the Internet with a multitude of people, the right to record looks more--at least in the view of several media companies--like a license to steal. Oh for CRYING OUT LOUD! Get out of the way and let it happen already. We've only been waiting 10+ years for this to happen. It's finally all here, and you idiots are still trying to stop it. You'd think after 10 years, you'd have figured out how to make the transition by now. |

This is a great example of centralized control of a resource vs. decentralized control of that resource. I wonder what will happen.... |
