Video History Lesson: Consumer Video and DRM at Dansdata -

I think we’ve probably got a couple of years of tape-based video cameras left, but it’s starting to look like solid state is becoming a serious option for consumer use. So while we wait, Dansdata has a great history of home video, with a dose of DRM thrown in. Tivo is finally about to launch in Australia, which is great, though I’m happy with my XBox Media Centre. What are the web’s finest video geeks using for their media consumption?

old media dies hard. here comes the rich fat man and is going to strip-search you (again).

“Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users’ names and IP addresses, to Viacom…”

on another note. nobody asked your permission and you’re not getting anything back from it (even though you’re doing all the work). eyes are watching what you watch on TIVO… for a profit.
