Re: Grow up, Mike...

Mike,

Content production is a multi-billion dollar industry that considers copy-protection essential to its long-term profitability. Many of these billions are sent to Washington in the form of taxes. For lawmakers, it's a simple proposition - no CP, no taxes from content. How much do you think Uncle Sam collected in taxes from CD music producers over the last couple years? Right, so DMCA and FCC regs supporting MPAA and RIAA. Your feelings have no part in this contract so save your postage. You will buy CP'd content and equipment when CP'd content and equipment is all there is to buy. As will we all. Simple.

As for HD, there will be substantial but declining sources of HD through component video for some time to come. As the vast majority of people have not yet purchased HDTVs, any downrezzing of HD content over component video will not affect them and will therefore not represent a serious problem for HD content distribution. The big deal in HD is HD-DVD and by the time it arrives (2 years), CP'd digital interfaces on HDTVs will be ubiquitous.
