The RTV 4000 story is now on CNN Headline News as I type this... They're saying Hollywood is going to go after them as well because people can basically rent a pay-per-view movie and record a perfect digital copy and send it, blah blah blah.. The CEO of SonicBlue (Ken something) was on and sounding WAAAY too much like the Napster execs.. Talking about how the RTV4000 is giving power to the consumer and "that's not what the big networks want..."

Napster tried the "revolt against Big Brother" strategy and look where they are... This is big business, not some political revolution. I wish these executives would check in with reality every once in awhile and realize they're just businessmen, not philosophers or religious figures. I'm sure this guy has to be smart to get where he got, but come on, saying this thing is a weapon in the war against big monopolistic networks is so trite it's embarssing.
