DVD Fast Forwarding to Be Banned
TiVo will add banner advertising when users do fast forwarding, this has brought lots of dispute recently, since it's one of main features of TiVo - users can skip any commercials when recording TV shows, just like what TiVo's slogan said: "TV your way."
But this news could change the situation.
The US Congress is considering making fast forwarding through video advertisements a crime. Lawmakers in the land of the free have decided that it is costing their chums in the movie industry far too much money and want video fast-forwarders placed in the same league as pirates.
