Don, another great podcast. I especially liked the rant at the end of the show. I rip all my movies to a NAS and play them through a modded Xbox. I don't have to worry about my kids scratching the heck out of the discs.
I remember reading about some executive that said "You want a backup? Buy another copy of the movie. That's your backup". What a moron, huh?
On a separate note, can you interview the CEO of Seagate? I can't remember his name but he'd be a great interview. He talks down-to-earth and if I'm not mistaken he was the guy who was quoted as saying "people need hard drives to store their porn", or something like that. This guy would be great on your show. You can ask him about SSDs, media storage for streaming, etc.
Stupendous podcast! So very glad you had Tom on your show, he's a gem. As for the "rant" that was the last third of the show, I know I'm truly biased, but I think it was award-worthy! :-)
What can we all do to spread the word of how the media-buying public are not criminals, and clarify the evils of the DMCA?
