In yet another move aimed to remind us that entertainment is all about getting our money, TiVo has announced that starting in March, commercials will be unavoidable. Macrovision will also become more prominent, restricting how much consumers will be able to record. So even though these people pay extra money to be free of these very restrictions, they'll soon lose that freedom.
We really are in the midst of a struggle here between the industry and the forces of progress. All of these conflicts between record/movie companies and consumers are caused because the businesses don't understand that things have to change in the face of new technologies. They're stuck in the past, unwilling to see new opportunities and instead they see only dropping revenues. This battle is being waged between oil companies and alternative fuel proponents for the same reason. But you can't fight technology, history has shown us that. You can, however, harness the technology and turn it to benefit you.
