Internet TV patent : Comment 46 of 62 | ANN.lu |

So if BMW decided to only allow you to drive your new car on licensed roads you would think that would be fair? A couple of miles in New York, then you will have to fly it to a strip in California that is licensed... Seems rather stupid to me...
If I buy a DVD I should be able to play it on whatever I like that has the ability to play it. Lets say I have a Pioneer DVD that is licensed at home. Fine. Then my mate calls and asks for a DVD night. -Sorry, your Philips player isn't licensed... |
