Yeah right...

"ensures that Americans will continue to receive free, high quality programming in the digital age."

Yeah right, who are they kidding? Ensuring FREE high-quality programming? Come on people... we've learned NOTHING is for free at about the age of 7. Any company with a statement like that makes me run in the opposite direction!

If the broadcast is FREE the first time around, who the hell cares if someone records it to their PC for later viewing, or transfers said record to a friend who may have been out of town?

Oh wait, this means that the out-of-town friend won't be buying the Shows DVD when it comes out because their ever-vigalent friend (first guy) has recorded ALL the shows in digital content to his PC.

So what this boils down to is, first time is free, seconds are an arm and a leg?

Sounds like the crack-dealer method to me.
