BILL HOBBS HAS MORE on Tennessee’s anti-TiVO bill, and on why Tennessee’s legislators are so cozy with the cable companies.

UPDATE: Read this editorial from the Rocky Mountain News on why similar legislation in Colorado is a bad idea:

Did you get permission from your cable company before you bought your kids a new VCR? Did your telephone company say you could use a modem to log on to the Internet? Did your Internet service provider give written approval for your Webcam?

Do you think you should have to ask them?

No, I don’t. And I don’t think voters do, either.
