DRM
noticed that the wdtvlive, when you watch youtube, if you play certain clips like song videoclips, you get a warning saying content is protected by the content provider, and won't play on "tv enabled" devices.
that's annoying. they should not do that. they will complain that people find alternate ways to download their content - no wonder, if they didn't do silly things like this people would not.
likewise, ever noticed how when you play a disney dvd you get first an fbi warning, then a piracy warning, then a locked sequence about disney, then several trailers, and you can't skip any of it, it's forced playback content. tsk, tsk. they should not be so forceful with that either.
content providers should be more careful with DRM and content protection measures. that would be a good first step.
