[nfb-talk] Losing DVS

[tribble]

Hello John -- well, perhaps you should consider thanking the nfb for 
reducing the amount of time you spend listening to the television.  I know I 
sometimes spend too much time there, dvs or not.
Just a thought.

Every time I criticize the NFB, all you people want to do is make it about
me. Well, as usual, I'm not going to allow that. This is not about me.  I am
going to discuss the issue whether you like it or not!

I already provided a URL for a page that quotes the TV and movie producers
using the NFB's own statements in it's legal argument.  These are *facts*.
If you don't like them, too bad.

The NFB made a mistake in opposing the mandate for DVS. If the mandate had
continued, I'd have DVS on my digital broadcast today. Now, the best you can
do is argue that the mandate would have been over turned regardless of what
the NFB did. Yet the fact remains that the NFB opposed the mandate and
almost certainly contributed to it being over turned.
