Tivo, DRM, and Convergence
This is a must-read from SethS. A reasoned look at Tivo’s increasingly restrictive approach, including how it relates to broader trends in terms of incorporating DRM into devices. The conclusion:
“In terms of end user control, there is an opportunity for CE devices to converge up (enhancing customers’ control) and a risk of PC devices converging down (eroding it). I think the world the entertainment companies have built is providing exactly the wrong incentive at every point as this question is worked out.”
