I forgot to pass along a link that Bruce sent me explaining why ReplayTV Is Not Another Napster. "SONICblue's Potashner has shown that he has a knack for zoning in on the next big thing. His company's MP3 player has 40% market share and deals with all five major music labels. Isn't it about time the entertainment Establishment stopped wasting time and money trying to use the courts to forestall the future -- and instead embrace the new technology?"
Not only does this article illustrate why I want one of the new ReplayTV 4000s to go with my two older ones, but it hits the nail on the head in terms of the dinosaur broadcasting industry. Just as with Napster, they can start acknowledging the future and working with companies like SonicBlue, or they can stand by and watch helplessly as others jump in to take their place and relegate the bigcos to the backseat.
