Targeting the college-age crowd, they'll have TV & radio tuners, DVD players, remote controls, and 'MTV-specific content.' CNN has this article on CNN's SCI-TECH page, but the original story was posted last Thursday on IDG.net. There's also news of MTV's impending digital music player, which uses DataPlay's 500MB matchbook-sized discs with built-in digital rights denial^H^H^H^H^H^Hmanagement."

Obviously, the poster's use of the phrase was meant to refer to the denial of the user's rights, not the copyright holder's.
You, AC sir, seem convinced that citizens do not have any rights in this matter, and all rights accrue to the holder of copyright. In this you are opposed to established case law, as well as to the intentions of the framers of the Constitution. ("To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries...")
Here. [stanford.edu] Go read up. Please don't post on copyright matters until you do.

Then they went to do the only thing that could possibly make it suck more: play suck ass shows. TRL. Spring Break (I can't tell you how often I have mentally flooded MTV Isle with a 100' explosion induced tidal wave, while someone demands to watch that innane POS at a get-together.).
BTW, MP3.com was (and is stil largely) about the idea in your post. However, as a musician, I could hardly see myself signing over responsibility (copyright, essentially--and something that MP3.com has no part of) of my beloved music to another financially motivated entity. Did I mention that I hate the RIAA?
