In this climate of proud and deliberate, peristent, obtuseness, I should not have used the above analogy. My intention was merely to say that the problem of unlawful copy protection can be attacked at both ends. At the FOTA broadcaster or content owner's end (supply), copy protection is not allowed. Period. But that DOES NOT mean that CE manufacturers have to trust the supply end to do what's lawful. Since there are simple means to make the system work as the courts intend, CE vendors should use those simple means. No need to trust the other guy to be doing the right thing, in this case. Or restated, you are NOT "circumventing" a copy protection mechanism, since such mechanism does not, or more accurately should not, by law, exist.
