95 Million Active Place-shifting Servers

quote:
Today's consumers demand more than just varied content. They want it on their terms, on their schedules. Remember your first VCR and the worlds it opened? Get ready for the next radical notion. Unshackling your TV from the living room, you are now able to transport your media to where and when you want it.
And the content owners hate this idea as much as they did VCRs. Unfortunately, this time around the government is much less pro consumer and more pro big business.

And as an aside, the N&O are masters of stirring up trouble where there was none by bringing things to the attention of the troublemakers. For just one example, we NCans have them to thank for a recent law that makes vehicle equipment violations (many of which are actually pled-down speeding tickets) part of public driving records.

the sports people are big against place shifting as for some reason they greatly fear disruption of blackout areas. however goodluck to any content holder in fighting place shifting because even if the content makers get laws that require special kill chips in slingbox devices that wont let them transmit certain content. a PC with a TV tuner and an open source app would just bypass that.
