[opendtv] Re: Cablevision to appeal network DVR ruling

Would it work if the end user was part of a co-op that stored and
forwarded content to members I wonder? There was someone I was talking
to in Canada that was doing this with MythTV in his home for his
neighbors as I remember it.

This decision was expected. I have been writing about this for years.
The Fair Use legislation and rulings apply only to the consumer, not
a middleman trying to make a buck leveraging the  content owned by
others.

That being said, on demand viewing of copyrighted content is a huge
growing business for cable. But this requires that the cable company
obtain the rights to the content and share the revenues generated.
