#Future of DTV?
Paul–
I'm enjoying our dialogue!
<<<I have always said that the only people interested in doing anything
original are under the age of 10.>>
I agree with you, and it reminds me of Tom Lehrer's 1965 song on "New Math":
"It's so simple, so very simple, that only a child can do it!"
Your comments on Video PostIts, the video equivalent of sound bites, etc. are
right on the money…only complication will be the inevitable intervention of
media lawyers who are chomping at the bit to sue benign users of video snippets
for unauthorized usage.
Taking the Marilyn example, I couldn't get over the fine print that was along
the spine of the program for the recent Digital Hollywood program (which
featured a pciture of Marilyn on its cover), it read (believe it or not):
"Design 1994 The Estate of Marilyn Monroe. All rights reserved. <<<signature–
"Marlilyn Monroe", MARILYN ™ and NORMA JEANE ™ together with the name,
voice, likeness, and image are trademarks of the Estate of Marilyn Monroe.

How about a "Kill the lawyers" screen saver?
