Cool new blog technology

This week on Engadget I read an article about how different tv companies have blocked their video content from being shown on google TV. This has been done apparently because they do not want people to just use their internet in order to view tv shows and not pay for cable. TV companies want to show you as little as possible in order to make you buy a product and thus they do not like to have people watch their videos for free on TV. I think that it is sill that TV companies literally put a block on their website in order for it not to be shown on TV. If people really wanted to watch online shows on their TV, I am pretty sure that they could use their TV as a monitor. The whole debate seems rather silly to me and I think it will annoy some of my peers to see how wrapped up the companies are in profit, rather then the actual product and future of the industry.
