| philips could make alot of money by allowing companies to use it should it ever be used in products. Businesses play for money not morality.

So many things make this idea so very lol
1. VCR. Fast Forward. Recording Problem Solved.
2. Stand up as consumers and say you won't buy it. Buy old equipment and use that. You need to show them the truth: The customer is always right.
3. Someone will probably find the switch and turn it off, and tell everyone to turn it off, then say "zomg, were teh 1337 h4x4rs for teh w1n!"
5. Failing everything... you could just... get up, and tend to that swolen bladder of yours... maybe go out, get some fresh air... kind of like people did back in 1996. Maybe even turn it off for a while? 
Tha Horrraaaah!

Naw, they'd put in a security system to control what you're watching without your consent. The security system will be very malicious, and take over all the appliances in your house, and install something in your power box that will allow people to use your blender without your permission. People will be outraged, and demand a fix. Sony will give in, and release a fix. However, the fix will burn your house down. Meanwhile, hackers will have figured out how to bypass the security, which is accomplished by inserting a black marker into the audio in port, thus foiling millions of dollars of security research with a 2 dollar item.

Someone will bypass it. It said in the article that it would work similar to the PPV channels and we all know how bypassable they are.
Here's a little something else you aren't going to believe, this one is internet related.

Save The Net - Congress
Sells Out The American Public
From Dahr Jamail
By Robert W. McChesney
President - Free Press
4-21-6
Congress is about to sell out the Internet by letting big phone and cable companies set up toll booths along the information superhighway.
Companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending tens of millions in Washington to kill "network neutrality" -- a principle that keeps the Internet open to all.
A bill moving quickly through Congress would let these companies become Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow -- and which won't load at all -- based on who pays them more. The rest of us will be detoured to the "slow lane," clicking furiously and waiting for our favorite sites to download.
Don't let Congress ruin the Internet:
Rep. Joe Barton

Congress Sells Out
After accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from big telecom firms, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) is sponsoring a bill to hand over the Internet to these same companies. He's not alone.
Where Does Your Representative Stand?

Act Now: Save the Internet http://action.freepress.net/campaign/savethenet/i73nxku49jnx8jd?
*Tell Congress to Save Net Neutrality Now* http://action.freepress.net/campaign/savethenet/i73nxku49jnx8jd?
Our elected representatives are trading favors for campaign donations from phone and cable companies. They're being wooed by people like AT&T's CEO, who says "the Internet can't be free" and wants to decide what you do, where you go and what you watch online.
The best ideas never come from those with the deepest pockets. If the phone and cable companies get their way, the free and open Internet could soon be fenced in by large corporations. If Congress turns the Internet over to giants like AT&T, everyone who uses the Internet will suffer:
* *Google users* -- Another search engine could pay AT&T to guarantee that it opens faster than Google on your computer.
* *iPod listeners* -- Comcast could slow access to iTunes, steering you to a higher-priced music service that paid for the privilege.
* *Work-at-home parents* -- Connecting to your office could take longer if you don't purchase your carrier's preferred applications. Sending family photos and videos could slow to a crawl.
* *Retirees* -- Web pages you always use for online banking, access to health care information, planning a trip or communicating with friends and family could fall victim to Verizon's pay-for-speed schemes.
* *Bloggers* -- Costs will skyrocket to post and share video and audio clips -- silencing citizen journalists and amplifying the mainstream media.
* *Online activists* -- Political organizing could be slowed by the handful of dominant Internet providers who ask advocacy groups to pay a fee to join the "fast lane."
* *Small businesses* -- When AT&T favors their own services, you won't be able to choose more affordable providers for online video, teleconferencing, and Internet phone calls.
* *Innovators with the "next big idea"* -- Startups and entrepreneurs will be muscled out of the marketplace by big corporations that pay for a top spot on the Web.
We can't let Congress ruin the free and open Internet.
*Let Congress Know that You Want Net Neutrality Now* http://action.freepress.net/campaign/savethenet/i73nxku49jnx8jd?
We must act now or lose the Internet as we know it.
Onward,
