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.
