this is just the beginning. did you know that the MPAA is now pushing legislation to essentially outlaw privately owned DVRs? they want all Tivo/DVR technology to be leased by the consumer from the cable provider - who will control the content management of the programs you dare to record to your DVR.

Let 'em try. All I need is a hard drive and Linux.

yes, I know. but remember, the RIAA simply wants to control 95% of consumers. if 5% of them are saavy enough to cobble together their own technology to get around the controls and restore fair use for themselves, that is acceptable to them. especially when they can go after those 5% with new laws given to them by congress.
