Re: Any other solution?
said by hopeflicker  :I simply stated that i prefer to watch my TV from a couch I believe that's a given for just about anyone.said by hopeflicker :I understand they have to show ads, but i dont find one fucking difference in me burning a CD of a show or fast forwarding through my recorded DVR stuff. And I never said there was a difference. I was merely trying to follow the OP's post.said by hopeflicker :Tell me, when the advertisements come on your TV, do you get up and leave the room? Nope, I don't watch advertisements  said by hopeflicker :like the RIAA, the producers of TV shows need to find other means of making money, even if it's product placement in shows. I won't dispute that. The obvious method is to charge for the content, but we already know how well that will work. A big swath of consumers have become accustomed to free, and it will be next to impossible to change that short of ramming it down their throats, e.g. forced ads via IPTV streams. |
