I wrote the original article quickly to get my feeling 'on paper', but later realized (based on reader comments) that it might have been confusing. Regarding the fund raising, I'm planning to use an y donation to buy Adwords to help publicize the information.

Many people thought you were calling to boycott any and all high-def, and we now see the intent is towards AACS DRM, not HD directly. I personally think it's a bit late for the action of a boycott based on the  reasons I listed above, but I do commend you on raising public awareness for the issues; something we're trying to do here on a daily basis. Wish you all the best with it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kevin C.

Nobody wants DRM.  Even Yahoo Music told the RIAA that they'd be better off without it.  Did your new bosses at AOL Time Warner tell you to dismiss the boycott or else get booted out of Weblogsinc?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Permanent4]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2006 12:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mike Evangelist changes HD boycott to AACS DRM only]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/27/mike-evangelist-changes-hd-boycott-to-aacs-drm-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/27/mike-evangelist-changes-hd-boycott-to-aacs-drm-only/</guid><description><![CDATA["Does anyone really think that people will turn off television programming in high-def to pop in a 480p DVD?"<br><br>Yes, because that's what they own. Plenty of people get HD programming (free or otherwise) and nobody has HD movies to buy yet and I don't see there being a mad rush to go out and re-buy the Disney movies that are just getting released on DVD in yet another format (speaking from a parent's POV).<br><br>There's going to be a slow process with this transistion (slower than DVD) because I think the public doesn't get it or feel they need it. H*ll, some people are waiting for this next transition with hopes that DVD prices fall thru the floor like VHS prices did over the couple of years!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TV]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 27th 2006 2:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mike Evangelist changes HD boycott to AACS DRM only]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/27/mike-evangelist-changes-hd-boycott-to-aacs-drm-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/27/mike-evangelist-changes-hd-boycott-to-aacs-drm-only/</guid><description><![CDATA["Funny, we do that every day and don't ask for a dime, now do we?"<br><br>No, certainly not!<br><br>...except how you're part of Weblogs, Inc., a company that is owned by AOL.<br><br>So don't even. You can't fit that much irony in 1080p.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 2nd 2006 11:30PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
