I'll try to go back and find the reference article, but I believe the FCC and Congress are already pushing back on this. The Cable Co's (mostly owned by or are owners of Big Media) have been fighting against the FCC mandated Cable Card and this is just their latest try at an end run to avoid it. Remember, they will do ANYTHING to control the entire path from the artist to your living room. Such is the unfortunate dark side of digital media.
