To me it seems exactly like retrans consent and is either allowed by the contract, forbidden, or still ambiguous. Though it may be somewhat ambiguous in the case of a broadcaster forcing must-carry. If anybody cared in those cases I think as a cable company I'd take the position I was granted the shifting rights.

And again, what they call "remote-storage DVR" in this piece is actually a device inside the cable network, not on consumer premises.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.Regards Craig ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.----------------------------------------------------------------------You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org- By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
