First they get a town's municipal wireless network shut down because one person downloaded movie.

Now they want to cripple your TV

That is blasphemy. It's not like the port is only used for piracy. It's like yanking the whole plug because of a few bad apples. Next, they'll try discontinue blank CDs and DVDs because they'll find that people are burning their material and (god forbid) sharing it with family and friends.  :bluesad:

This is the same bunch that is well known for giving independent studios sterner rating reviews than big budget studios. There is such hypocrisy with this group that I am not surprised by anything they do or how they respond when someone points it out. The only group who is an equal to their idiocy and vileness in how they treat fans is the RIAA. Both are nothing but greed driven organizations.
