Re: Content Owners Again
said by Kearnstd  :said by qdemn7 :Content owners think everyone is a thief. If you invite friends over to watch Subscription Anything, and THEY aren't paying for the service at their house they think that violates Copyright. this is sadly true, rumor is bar owners cant say buy a PPV of a boxing match in the same way you could at home. I can understand a business not being allowed, since it would be a easy way to bring in customers, who would then be expected to purchase something.
Bars where I live stopped showing video tapes, HBO back in the early 80s for this reason. MPAA lawyers found even the smallest bar back then. The bars that gave free drinks to the local DA seemed immune though
As far as Slingbox lets hope the consumer wins. |
