Doom9 News March 21 - Rupert Murdoch

[SeeMoreDigital]

.... we have Rupert Murdoch, owner of News Corporation and thus the Fox TV channel and the 20th Century Fox movie study on record saying: A new generation of media consumers has risen demanding content delivered when they want it, how they want it and very much as they want it.

That's right Mr. Murdoch. We want to play our DVDs on standalones, PSPs, notebooks without DVD drives, DivX capable standalones, video iPods and game consoles. We want to record high def streams of 24 and covert them to more convenient formats. And if we missed the last episode of 24 last night but have access to the Fox channel via our tv subscription, how about making the episode available for download?

You realize what customers want Mr. Murdoch, then why is your studio pushing for additional DRM on Blu-ray? How about living up to what you realize your customers want?Indeed....

Why also are all his Sky channels so heavily encrypted when captured using his Sky+ (DVB-S) proprietary designed set-top box?

ummm I don't know... maybe it's because there are some things that look nice to say in public even if inside "we"(he) don't agree to what "we"(he) say(says) :confused: :o :D

Used to think he was the most dangerous self serving man on the planet until Bush Jr turned up.
I'm tempted to talk politics here but it's on the banned list.
