,----[ Quote ]
| This, says Neuros CEO Joe Born in an open letter to Apple TV coders,
| is to be encouraged if the vested interests - content providers and

| down what consumers can watch, where and when.

Criminalising the consumer
,----[ Quote ]
| Google is currently testing this to find the "fingerprints" of miscreants

| The beauty of such schemes is that they don't actually prevent anyone
| from making copies of original content. Their purpose is simply to
| collect royalties when a breach of copyright has occurred.
