I'm absolutely incensed that OTA broadcasts have been allowed to start using DRM.

We're back to the 1970's and early 80's when some OTA channels were allowed to charge subscriptions.

The difference this time is that the new decoders send information /back/ to the TV station, so you can be further tallied, tabulated, profiled, and collated.

Which is the precise reason I switched to OTA. What I watch is my business, not theirs.
