[QUOTE="Brodizzle, post: 168647"] No because the big corporations lose control over it.All legal attempts to do this have being limited so they as i said before dont lose control over content therefor it will not win EVER.Any attempts to implement this outside the cosy entertainment system will be crushed. That will never change. [/b][/quote] First quote, how is this limited? Because at the moment on demand content on your television is not as wide spanning as DVD's?
