Some excellent points made here, but they still don't dismiss what Tim O'Reilly tweeted. The legislation that broadcasters are trying to put in place is down right greedy. Placing intellectual property copyrights on content they didn't even create? It's a defensive act to block anyone and everyone out and it's difficult to watch. If something like this were successful, content creators could lose the right to have their work on anything but the original broadcasters network (in this case cable, satellite, and some Internet outlets). There may be a lack of understanding for why this isn't ok, but that doesn't make it alright.
