[vdr] PVR users are thieves
Hello!
>From /.:
It was bound to happen - 2600.com is reporting that Turner Broadcasting CEO
Jamie Kellner is calling PVR users thieves. When asked why personal video
recorders are bad for the industry, Keller says 'Because of the ad skips....
It's theft. Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're
going to watch the spots. Otherwise you couldn't get the show on an
ad-supported basis. Any time you skip a commercial or watch the button you're
actually stealing the programming.' Since when have we made contracts with
the broadcasters for watching their content? More of the 2600 article can be
found here.
