Ok, that's interesting.
Here's my corollary. You haven't told me that you think broccoli is icky.
Therefore, CLEARLY, you LOVE broccoli. Another is, when did you stop
beating your wife?
THEY SAID NOTHING ABOUT THIS. NOTHING. NOTHING. The FCC, in 00-341, made
ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT about this!!!
Now I'm done. I'll no longer read this thread.

We disagree. By refusing to make a decision, the FCC gives MVPDs carte
blanche wrt copy protection, which OTA broadcasters do not have. In effect,
that is taking a stand.
I'll indulge in some of the same "logical" thinking we see on here from
[expletive deleted].
If a book author wants to display his book in my house, I am well within my
rights to negotiate my terms with him. As in, "sure, go ahead and display
it, but only IF YOU AGREE to let me quote from it, make photocopies of
certain sections for my own use, or for other uses I specify ahead of time.
That is what the US Govt is doing here, ON OUR BEHALF. It is saying to
content owners and to broadcasters, "If you guys want to air this content
over the RF spectrum owned by the public, and which broadcasters are
allotted on condition of following certain rules, THEN we, the people, are
going to negotiate the terms.
"Our terms are [Betamax case, 17 USC 1201]. If you don't like our terms, we
agree that you own the content and have rights to it, so please take your
content elsewhere for display."
And more, we, the people, are saying to broadcasters that if they want to
use the publically-owned TV RF spectrum, they have to transmit at least one
free and clear SDTV stream. Or take their business elsewhere.
By the way, I think it is the tactic of the complete idiots and morons to
try to silence opposing points of view through insults. Deep down, pathetic,
self-loathing bullies and narcisists. No one worthy of respect, for sure.
Surely, we can agree on that much?
