New What's very disconcerting
In 2003 the RIAA sued a twelve year-old girl for copyright infringement. She'd harbored an MP3 file of her favorite TV show on her hard drive. Her working class parents in a housing project in New York were forced to pay two thousand dollars in a settlement.


emphasis added

I save several TV shows a week on a hard drive. It's called TiVo!

New And how does that differ
from (presumably) all the hours of shows, movies, etc., which folks have stored on VHS? do they, technically, also become a target.

brings new meaning to this f*cking ownership society. you better patent _your_self_ damn fast before someone buys and sells you.

thanks
