  It seems likely to me that the content industry will be able to write
  laws which prevent devices that don't critically inhibit consumer
  ability to record and play back video from being made and legally
  sold in the USA but in my opinion they'll only succeed in creating a
  gray market for fully functional devices, such as already exists with
  region-free DVD players and game-console mod chips.  Ordinary consumers
  might not go to the trouble to obtain such devices but then "ordinary
  consumers" don't even know how to record a program using their
  current VCRs.

  Video enthusiasts won't settle for the solution the content providers
  want to impose.
