This is almost always what the contract with a content provider requires, and the content owner won't give content to you without you agreeing.
I would be shocked if that wasn't the case here.
For a content provider, anything else would limit the number of times they can sell their catalog, etc, which they aren't willing to do.
Also, if the MPAA/et al hadn't lost in court a few decades ago, they 100% would have sent goons to erase your VHS tapes :)

- orev 4y agoThere’s a big difference between preventing ongoing distribution of someone else’s content after a contract has ended, and deleting personal copies of that content. Labeling this as “library recordings” makes it pretty clear that anyone using that feature is expecting it to function like a personal recording. Otherwise why have that feature at all? Why not just rewatch the original episode instead of saving it to your personal library? If one were to take personal recordings and start selling them, that’s a problem and we already have copyright law that addresses it.
