Doesn't this just mean that we'll all have our main home "media center" computer, that runs Netflix and lets us read NYTimes articles, and then we'll all have our secondary computers that run alternative browsers and go to all the non-corporate-behemoth sites we want to go to?
The technically-inclined will always find a way around stuff. The corporations just have to make their system easy enough, and hard enough to circumvent, for the average person not to bother. See iTunes vs. bitTorrent. Everyone said the MPAA was a bunch of Orwellian bastards and no one would ever pay for mp3s, but they made it work for 80% of the people, which is all they really had to do.
