New For all you TiVo users out there...
While I personally don't have a TiVo box, I do know people who have it and love it. Imagine going on vacation, recording your selected shows, then finding they were deleted before you returned!

It may be a bug, but it also may be a future consideration for businesses.

"TiVo 7.2 OS adds content protection, blocks transfers, and auto-deletes some shows"

New Cory Doctorow has been talking about this

He calls these DRM additions 'anti-features', which is a term I believe I'll use myself in future.

Using a metaphor in front of a man as unimaginative as Ridcully was like a
red flag to a bu-- was like putting something very annoying in front of
someone who was annoyed by it.
