If there is anyone following this thread and is thinking that a mountain is being made out of a mole hill, and won't be signing the petition, I'd like to just point out one paragraph from the article: "The members of the MythTV community, who now do not have to pay monthly fees to rent set-top boxes or digital video recorders, have plenty of more mischievous company in trying to outwit the television industry. Millions of viewers are now watching illegal copies of television programs - even full seasons copied from popular DVD's - that are flitting about the Internet, thanks to other new programs that allow users to upload and download the large files quickly. And entrepreneurial souls are busily concocting even newer applications, including one that searches the Internet for illegal copies of any television shows you may desire and automatically downloads them to your computer." What the hell is the author thinking? We start this paragraph with a statement about MythTV users not paying for "set-top boxes or digital video recorders". The authors then walk from there, with one step, to imply that we installed MythTV so that we could download illegal shows to watch. WTF? Okay, so I'll admit, I only skimmed the article the first time. I just went back and read it and was appalled that the NYT could get is so very wrong. Anyway, please sign the petition. It's a small gesture, and may never result in anything. But, in the spirit of Pedro, "If you sign the petition, your wildest dreams will come true". Geoff -- I have some G-Mail invites. Let me know if you want one.
