TiVo Series 3 HD is Defective By Design

Filed under: Intellectual Property,Technology — bblackmoor @ 08:36

As the Buggles told us, new technology kills old technology. Thanks to the DMCA and the media robber barons — aka the Digital Rights Mafia — DRM is killing innovation. In the latest death to functionality, the TiVo To Go is no more. TiVo Series 3 HD is Defective By Design.

If you want to help fight the Digital Rights Mafia, please also tell Congress to reform the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which limits unlocking DRM even to make legitimate uses, like moving recorded content to your portable video player.
