At the request of theatrical film makers, the Federal Communications Commission on Friday quietly launched a proceeding on whether to let video program distributors remotely block consumers from recording recently released movies on their DVRs. The technology that does this is called Selectable Output Control (SOC), but the FCC restricts its use. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) wants a waiver on that restriction in the case of high-definition movies broadcast prior to their release as DVDs.

Don't they never learn?
I wonder if this will phenomenon will cross the Atlantic?
I don't watch tv when stuff gets broadcasted, I record stuff (not on dvdr but using my decoder) and then watch it when I feel like it. If they wouldn't let me record a movie from MY tv --> torrent
