Re: [SurroundSound] Re: Dolby TrueHD upscaling

The news sources lap it up as well...never in any article about the shift to the cloud is it ever suggested that this move might not be a good one for the consumer.  In fact, they tout all the reasons a consumer would lap it up.  No where does the conversation even veer to ownership except as it relates to the artists and labels.  Sadly the consumer is not even mentioned.  Which is exactly the way to sell something onerous like this...remove the debate altogether and/or restrict the reach of the debate so its true intention remains obfuscated by the fact that its never mentioned to begin with.

Yeah, Pete did nail it.  Folks, if you have never read Orwell's

prophetic, and frightening,  work has never been written.  And the sad
part is, you can see it being manifested right before your eyes every
day.  And we the sheeple are lapping it up for its "convenience" and
"ease of use".
