The McKinsey Quarterly: Unscrambling digital TV
Good introduction to digital television. Defines the two kinds of digital television and compares it to analog television.
Studios agree on digital protection
Unlike analog, digital media won't degrade through duplication: a series of numbers is a series of numbers. Thus, perfect duplicates are only a few clicks away.

I'd like to see the legal definition of intellectual property to include data about me. Any significant marketing information would be afforded the same protection as the crappy programming coming out of the television studios.
