It means pretty much exactly what you say, only its the set top box that's doing the streaming, and the video outputs are only disabled for movies that are still in theaters.
I also find it hard to get overly worked up about it - it seems like a reasonable inconvenience to put up with for the ability to watch newly released features at home.
Digital usually looks better anyway.
- bediger 16y agoI expect you won't be able to watch "newly released features" at home in the near term (up to 5 years from now), even when Tee Vees with the anti-feature are the norm. You'll just get the new inconvenience, and probably on old crap you wouldn't have recorded anyway. In this case, Cory Doctorow and the other freedom paranoids are correct.
