This wasn't piracy, it was time-shifting. You, as an American with a TV, could watch the show at X; you as an American can save it and watch it at Y, too. The videotape-timeshift-legal-decisions didn't say anything about VHS vs. BETA vs. DiVX formats. You could put it on Hollerith cards but the greens would be pissed. The fact that part of your video system is distributed in a few million homes should be irrelevent.

When the ads were deleted, it ceased to be time shifting. In any case, the point I intended to make was that "Buffy" was one hundred times bigger than a typical MP3, yet the software and hardware had no problems. If the internet can handle one hour tv shows without working up a sweat, digital convergence is getting real close. --digsig James A.
