You're forgetting... (Score 2)

When my dad found out that he couldn't tape TV shows with a DVD player, he said "Why would I want to buy that then?"

There are many people that feel the same. Is this because this is a freedom we assume we have, or a freedom that we are losing in today's "high tech world" like many other freedoms.

If you are going to protest something, do it for the right reasons.

I read "Don't buy DVDs!"

I read "Don't buy PM1 VHS!"

Decide, then go further and block the companies that support the very thing you oppose.

Question: Wasn't there a boycott of PIII's because of a Hardware ID in the chip of some sort?

What if a company only made software that would work on an Athlon chip?

If I were protesting Intel, I would be happy for this. Maybe the people unhappy about no PM1 DVD release are not protesting the DVD industry?

Keystone Light! Ahhhhhhh
