I personally would be glad to see "traditional" tv die, with such nonsense going
on.
And if they do DRM it to hell, what will happen will just be what happened with BBSes,
they'll drive people to social, personal sites.
the commercial content will die because people wont put up with it,
or they'll find a way around it, if they can't, it'll drive people away.
then the system they setup will die.
it's happened before, it'll happen again.

Maybe one day the whole 'net will be DRMed up to the eyeballs and only
viewable with officially-sanctioned proprietary tools released by the
consortium who control it. That'll be fun...
