Re: the Overlooked Problem

>I never said that. What is the issue is redistribution. This has always been the issue of copyright. Fair Use allows you to make a temporary copy for yourself. But once you give a copy to someone else without the permission from the original owner, you are violating copyright. And TIVO did secure the necessary licenses to allow you to do this with your television. TIVO uses MPEG technology and has also secured the licenses for that as well.

OK, let me get this straight. If I use winamp/streamripper to make a temporary copy for my own personal use it is covered under "Fair Use". When the law is broken is if I was to distribute that copy to others? |
