how is this different then a vcr ?
A vcr shifts the viewing of your ad in time..this shifted the viewing of your ad in location....what would have more impact on your??.
Time shifting of viewing (vcr) vs location adding of viewing (this product)
I shift your local customer seeing you ad in time and they miss that time window to do business with you.. they can not call back in time and order...you lose a local sale.
I add a physical location seeing your ad outside of your market i did nothing to stop viewing in you intended place and time..I only added viewers..and the only impact to you is you might gain an extra customer calling on you from outside your market.
They tried this with VCR’s and eventually lost. Now they block you from recording in hi def as they require manufacturers to remove the hdmi out from recorders. You get 480 instead. There are ways around this but it was made difficult so the content providers can have control and limit your choice of device.
You have ISP companies like Comcast restricting the amount of data because they know you will cut the cord and just use internet to view tv shows. They are charging more and more money for just internet when the price should be going down.
Example is cellphone tethering (view on bigger computer screen). You can have unlimited data on the phone but the cellphone companies with either not allow tethering or restrict you. I have T-Mobile and their $30 plan. If I tether they will pop up a screen saying pay them more....
I use PDAnet to hide the tethering.
Good look in the mirror for bad logic. With your logic why should cable companies pay to carry over the air content.. it’s free... and the cable company sells it to its subscribers. IMHO, your arguments are filled with fallacies.
