Re: I must side with cablevision here said by WileEC:Who is pressing record on the remote? Me or them? Who is scheduling what programs are to be recorded and when? Me or them? If its me then what you just described as a problem with the physical location of the recording and playback is a technicality. Its down right stupid to throw monkey wrenches of this kind into the progress of technology because of things like this. If VCRs, DVRs, tape recorders etc. are legal for recording and playback of programs, music, etc., then this mere extension of that should be legal as well. Hell, its not even an extension, its exactly the same thing done in a slightly different way. Sorry, I must disagree with this. If it was just the cable company providing X amount of hours of storage for each device at the head end, and the content wasn't shared between users, then you would have a point. But my understanding of what Cablevision wanted to do was essentially record every channel every minute so that any user could rewind to any point in the recent past. At that point it no longer becomes time shifting but rather unauthorized retransmission.
