No thanx. I want a single format to win. I'm old enough to remember
Betamax/VHS war. BlueRay has won.

Maybe I should do http://www.youchoose.net/campaign/kill_hd_dvd_format
<http://www.youchoose.net/campaign/save_hd_dvd_format> ? :P

In the end I view this as spammy so we shouldn't let it get out of hand.
I'm sure this will spark other chat though and that's fine.

I have an HDDVD player (that they basically used to sweeten the deal on
a 50 inch DLP). It upconverts SD to HD so well that I don't really care
about buying the higher priced hi-def discs. Letterbox SD looks good
enough. I use my DVD player almost exclusively for concerts and music
vids, the sound is much more important to me.

When is everybody going to realize spinning a disc is old school?...
flash memories are the new trend. Just give them a few years to become
dead cheap like their predeccesors.

They will become cheap enough as soon as everyone replaces ALL of their DVD's with
Blu Ray or HDDVD. And we're all suckers so we will end up replacing our whole libraries
with the new technology. I can't wait for the new audio format to come out so I can
purchase Dark Side of the Moon for the 5th time (first four - Vinyl, Cassette, CD and MP3).
Also can't wait to purchase Apocalypse Now again, VHS, Beta, DVD and now what... I guess
I'll get it on Blu Ray AND HDDVD so I can compare them and argue with my friends. How about
we start a petition to not change from DVD. We're all suckers.

Well they are coming down so I'll get a PS3 this summer and use that for
movies.

We're only suckers if we let ourselves. CDs aren't going anywhere soon.
No matter how grim the industry likes to portray itself. CDs IMHO are
perfect. They can try to come out with supposed "better" formats but it
will only be in a effort to further copy-protection.

This why I skipped over DVD entirely. I've been following HDTV too long
to amass a huge DVD collection only to buy it again. I knew I would.

But seriously, gone are the days when a standard is around for 20, 30,
50 years like SDTV. Industry will continue to try to give us a perceived
"latest and greatest". Just the way it works. :P Vote with your
<InsertLocalCurrencyHere>.

Here's their next attempt:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/08/riaa_wants_filters_for_end_users/

*RIAA chief calls for copyright filters on PCs*

*By deception or force if necessary*

By Austin Modine
<http://forms.theregister.co.uk/mail_author/?story_url=/2008/02/08/riaa_wants_filters_for_end_users/>


Published Friday 8th February 2008 01:36 GMT

When is a virus not a virus? When its sending your personal data to the
Recording Industry Association of America, silly.

Internet advocacy website Public Knowledge
<http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/1388> has posted a highlight reel
from the State of the Net Conference, where RIAA boss Cary Sherman
suggests that internet filtering sorely lacks the personal touch of spyware.

While ISP-level filtering dragnets such as those proposed by AT&T
<http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/11/att_want_to_block_copyrighted_material_at_network_ level/>
have their way of catching the sloppier digital music thieves
<http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/03/jammie_thomas_attorney_flees/>
out there, the technology is more-or-less bypassed by basic file encryption.

That's why Sherman recommends finding a way to install filtering
software directly onto people's home PCs.

"One could have a filter on the end-user's computer that would actually
eliminate any benefit from encryption. Because if you want to hear it
[the music], you would need to decrypt it. At that point the filter
could work," said Sherman.

"Why would somebody want to put that on their machine? They wouldn't
likely want to do that," mused Sherman.

Why indeed?

"They'd do that when it benefits them such as for viruses and so on and
so forth. But that's the sort of thing that could be enforced whether at
the modem or something that's put in by an ISP."

Ah, trickery. But perhaps you'll need some rationalization so it doesn't
sound like your average run-of-the-mill nefarious spyware.

I don't think you should underestimate the educational benefit of these
kind of things. A lot of this is basically letting people know that what
you're doing here is not OK.

Education. Perfect. If history is any judge, we're sure the RIAA's legal
department will find a very reasonable and scholarly way of setting a
person back on the straight and narrow. Meanwhile the vast majority who
don't steal music will be happy knowing the RIAA is scanning every
packet of their incoming data in the name of academia.

Catch the highlights here <http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/1388>. Or
