That's their problems. Either catch up with the technologies in realtime or suffer
Everyone switch to digital inputs then.
I'm so glad I live in the UK and don't have to put up with the bullshit that is the FCC.

OFCOM, plus the BBC licence hounds.

OFCOM can't do this and nor can the BBC, mainly because they already are the fattest cats on the block.
So I guess Castro was right.
Thats it, I'm never going to the movies again. From now on I pirate everything. Fuck you FCC.
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;21839420]Regulating air traffic is all I can think of. And well, fuck, they do a shitty job at that too don't they.

They own the air.
We own the ground cables, for some reason, they still fuck with those anyway.
Why do I feel like this will be used against shows like South Park who have a tendency to piss off most extremist groups, and Family Guy for their stereotypes.
What will happen next: Someone will invent a Y-Spliiter for HDMI and make billions of dollars screwing over the MPAA
But I love my tivo from 2003 :frown:

My god, at least read SOMETHING in the OP.
On topic, this is a pretty BS move. I can understand their reasoning, but potentially fucking over people with outdated systems is inexcusable. People shouldn't have to upgrade if there's literally no technological barrier except for the DRM.

Same here minus the pirating part so I don't get banned. I just rip netflix DVDs.

God America, how much farther are you gonna fall. I'm starting to become ashamed to call myself an american. I really should make a list of EVERY stupid decision that was made in this decade. What happened to "everyone is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?"

I can only agree to that. They just [I]don't deserve[/I] my money if they're going to be all cocky and pissy to me, making me suffer while I could have such an easier life with just pirating the movies.
On the other hand, I live in germany, so they don't get my money anyways...
More and more of this freedom restrictions make me want to move out of the United States.
I wonder if the FCC is run by a bunch of old people with Alzheimers. "durn kids and their moving pictures! :bahgawd:"
The frickin' FCC
FCC must stand for Federal Buncha Sticklers.
I like to see em try to stop me from recording shit with my DVR and ripping on my PC to watch later (No, I don't let people download them from me)
Or I just use my Dazzle that is fucking old as hell.
I'll just post what I just posted in the GMF because it sums up my feelings about this perfectly:
[QUOTE=Kuro.;21863729]Copyright law is just broken now, and not just in your neck of the woods. It's completely self-serving like almost all legislation these days and wastes valuable resources (like the FBI) on being on-call hired guns for the media industry.[/QUOTE]
This is fucking retarded
I can see you are still doing you're job very well FCC.
Ugh. Are they really losing SO much money from this? There are still loads of ways to get a movie for free.
