| Quote: The BBC believes that having no copy protection provides a barrier for getting content on to a platform, and believes that content makers will not be prepared to go the extra mile for Freeview HD unless they feel their intellectual property is protected. Essentially the fear is that with the content now available in glorious HD quality, people will not want to go out and buy DVDs and Blu-rays because it will be too easy to record and copy content either to physical media or to hard drives. | |

First of all, the HD freeview boxes will need to be a lot cheaper for the majority to care in the near future. And they'd probably need to do that quickly before it's included in the 'average' TV I spose
Secondly, how dumb is that second paragraph? The sales of box sets aren't going to be diminished by people recording stuff at home - it's just too much hassle in the long run, and you'd need some amount of discs or HDD space for recording HD with the intent of keeping it
I'm also guessing that the people who buy box sets are the dedicated fans or buying them as presents, I doubt anyone else would even keep them on the HDD once they'd watched them
Also, it's all eventually gonna wind up on the net no matter what way they 'protect' it
Fcuking waste of time and nothing but annoying to the customer...
