Skipping ads is stealing

'Net Insider columnist Scott Bradner examines the rights of 
individuals vs. copyright holders when he alerts us to two 
disturbing news items. The first: An ad exec says anyone who 
fast-forwards through the ads on a taped TV show is stealing. 
The second: A Los Angeles judge has ordered a vendor to create 
software to record your every remote control click. Are we 
losing this rights battle?
