Re: I am a betting man

said by SilentMan:

It's so easy to buy a TV capture card, install it on a PC and record the program; then download a video editing software to edit out all the commercials and then make a new ISO of the program, commercial free!

PCs, TV capture cards, video editing software, etc. all have non-infringing uses. What non-infringing use does this new technology that deletes all commercials from a copyrighted broadcast have?

You have to stop using the word 'delete.' It is factually inaccurate because nothing is actually deleted. The recording is not altered in any way.

Also, it's not 100% automatic. The consumer still has to activate the feature for it to work. How is that any different than fast-forwarding through the commercials manually?
