Ped Xing writes: Since this is Public Domain Day, here is a blog post on copyright that contains a call to arms to spread a meme in the hopes that it will eventually result in balanced copyright law. Is the argument in the meme correct? Will it convince people to take copyright seriously? Can people even understand it?

Just make sure you get a converter box with Component Video out (also called YPbPr). Then you can use the Hauppauge HD PVR http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html to capture the hi-def video to a hard drive.

This is a solution that works for any HD settop box no matter what copy protection it provides, so long as it outputs component video.
