Not so much selling as spreading through torrents, uploading to video sites etc. In a world where most broadcasters have added video on demand through various subscriptions and that people every day preach the gospel of that linear, scheduled TV is just about dead and streaming exactly what you want to see whenever you want to see it is the only way forward, it doesn't surprise me if they try to find methods to prevent people from capturing what still is broadcasted through regular TV. I'm not saying they're doing the right thing, just that the business model has changed a lot in the past 10-15 years and that nowadays you're not supposed to have the need to record a show to watch it later... if only you pay for the subscription in order to watch it later.

And yet, the sun still rises from the east and sets in the west, and the TV networks still make money. *shrug*

I used to like regular TV when cartoons were on at 3PM instead of the garbage like Jerry Springer and other trash shows. Don't get me started about when crap replaced Saturday Morning cartoons. And I still have regular TV since cable is full of crap channels.

 

With DVD's I'm very unhappy with publishers making it impossible to skip the previews and commercials and forces you to watch them. Especially adding commercials is such a waste since everything advertised is garbage.

I buy all my movies in DVD and rip them to my computer to play on my AppleTV. No hassle with commercials and funky menus.
