Techdirt has a great article with a lot of links to the message being put forth by Dan Glickman. He is yet another idiot in the food chain that does not understand today’s technical based marketplace. As soon as they figure out how to satisfy consumers and assure fair use rights remain in place the better. I have no problem paying for content I just want it packaged in such a way that once I pay for it I never have to pay for it again ever.
Example I buy a DVD, I copy that DVD to my hard-drive, 5 years from now when I break that DVD I load that archived hard-drive and I burn a new copy for my viewing pleasure. Better yet I stream that video directly from my hard-drive to my wide screen TV.
How many cassettes do you own that you wished you could have a pristine copy of? I bet you all have a lot that went into the trash and then you re-purchased CD’s of the same music? [Techdirt]
