I sure as hell would never subscribe to that. I'm considering giving up on TV after the 2009 DTV conversion and only watching VHS and the occational DVD. I;ve already started making random VHS recordings for playback later... One intertesting rumor I've heard about the DTV switch is that possibly we might have to pay like $25/month and subscribe to a service just to watch broadcast TV??
The technology is already here to do a literal pay-per-play system, where a chip in our audio hardware would record the song title/artist, and we would have to pay a royalty just to listen to pre-recorded music! Sadly, I'll bet within 30 years, we'll be paying some trivial amount whenever we listen to ANYthing.
