Story: Extreme Copyright

The bit this week about TV viewers having a "contractual obligation" to watch commercials was already simmering, but today's news that Hollywood is demanding spy rights on ReplayTV customers was just too much. It started as a news item but exploded into a full explanation of why Hollywood does not have the rights it thinks it does just because it can't figure out how to make money broadcasting in a digital age.

I may even go back and add more later, when I have time.
