Hey, motion picture industry. You just turned a perfectly honest, hard working American consumer into a raging pirate. You took 10 hours of my life and now it’s “go time.”
All I want to do is hook up my TiVo and DirecTV DVR via HDMI to my friggin’ receiver and see it on my tv. Nope. Can’t do it. See, these fokkers who make movies are so afraid that we’re going to copy their precious stuff that they’ve convinced the manufacturers of electronic equipment to cripple the stuff.
Well, guess what? I used to pay for all of my music and movies. I used to lecture people about doing the same. I used to believe that people deserved to to be compensated for their product. That was before today. Today I was treated like a criminal. Today I spent ten hours trying to get a simple configuration to work because the instruction manual didn’t tell me that it wouldn’t. After doing a ton of internet research I found out that the feature that I had been trying so hard to make work had been intentionally disabled in order to keep me from copying some piece of garbage that Hollywood passes off as entertainment.
You’ll die like a rag doll and I’ll be laughing as I copy and distribute your crappy programming. You brought it on yourselves.
Dicks.
