Hi: Now, Seth Schoen up at:
http://bpdg.blogs.eff.org/

mentions the growing concerns by many who are beginning to have second
thoughts about HDTV and their inability to record movies under the CBDTPA.
Exactly:

Now, this is the stuff to get the word out that hits a whole lot of folks.
Those that bought HDTV's and now can't use them, and those who won't buy
'cause there's no reason if they can't record the movies. Watch an HDTV
movie, then pay to watch again. The term, "home theatre" takes on a whole
new meaning, eh?
Thanks,
Tom
