We were all so excited. We could now record TV on our tivo, replay it later skipping the commercials. Life was good. Then it got even better, we could download or stream our content over the internet so we didn't need to pay $100 a month for cable and $50 for internet, we could just do the $50 for internet. Now that those small startups sold their businesses to the giant media companies, we're all back to being literally forced to watch commercials, pay $100 to some big media company on top of our isp costs, and we can't record content locally perpetually and "own" it, even if we "buy" it.
