Re: Greed
You need to read the first post in this thread - he was talking about DVR'ing the content from his settop box and saving it. This IS legal. Then another poster compared it to taking a dvd from a store - no comparison - that is illegal. |

the BBC article also said NBC wanted to restrict use of their programs from being put onto Ipods. like apple will agree to that since Ipod is the company's baseline profit engine and the whole reason most use Itunes.

said by Sammer  :Maybe for the same reason you can't walk into a store and walk out without paying for a DVD copy of some show you could have recorded yourself.  Not a valid comparison. With a DVD in a store, you have a tangible physical item, with an actual value. A program broadcast for free to the public should be available for downloading for free, or at best, a very very minimal charge to cover the costs of providing the download. For example a 1 Hour TV show should be 10 cents.

Then just record it yourself and don't buy it. You say that, and it sounds so simple, yet you complain about it so obviously you aren't doing it. |
