I understand that this quote is a simplification of copyright “fair use” for clarity, but I found it amusing anyway.
“Consumers have well-established rights to ‘time-shift’ television programming by making copies for personal, in-home viewing,” [Cablevision] says. “This new technology merely enables consumers to exercise their time-shifting rights in the same manner as with traditional DVRs, but at less cost.”
Let’s see them find that in the Constitution. Activist judges cable television providers!
