[opendtv] Re: Invention: The TV-advert enforcer

Bert,

What if the Broadcasters, mean and greed lot that we are, got the FCC to 
mandate Philips "TV-Advert Enforcer" chip to be installed in all TV sets, 
STBs, and recording devices?  Who are you going to buy your television from 
then?

Lest you think this is far-fetched, I simply point to the Broadcast Flag.
