> I think it's important to point out that the URL that the data is being POSTed to doesn't in fact exist, you can see this from the HTTP 404 response

Is it possible that they do indeed collect it, but are faking 404?

Step now would be implement technology into the TVs. check

Step two would be to accept payload, however perhaps they are in waiting period to see if news like this one will come up, and then how much damage, if any, it will create. If none, then Step two: check.

What's step 3? Agreement with RIAA or Holywood to sell this data? It could help in litigation by giving more ammunition to plantiff. What is LG TOS of the TV says? Mentions anything about it?

Thank you for the post BTW. While they are tens of TV brands, its good to know which one to stay away from.
