Om Malik has a post up about another one of TiVo’s little marketing gimmicks. I swear, I almost got myself convinced to buy one, even though I watch exactly 1 hour of TV per week (which is, atm, occupied by Rome on HBO). But then I read the fine print: 13-17 bucks per month – no way, not even close.
I know I’m a Luddite in this respect, and everyone around me is busy extolling TiVo’s virtues, but I just don’t get it. How do these people make their money?
I’ll say one thing for them, though: they’re forcing some really fascinating copyright-related analysis right now. But hey, I have Grokster & Co. for that.
