My bet is #3. Either way, none of those excuses should be valid.
Microsoft *should* be more worried about doing something illegal than
they are worried about displeasing another industry (rather than their
customers).

Craig pins this on the broadcasters or the conglomerates. I don't. The
blame here is squarely on Microsoft and other industries that pander in
similar ways.
