Many beams of publicly accessible light are regulated. You can't tape the Simpsons off the air and sell your own DVD box sets.

- EpicEng 12y agoNope, it wouldn't be. It's the reselling en masse that they have a problem with.
- zaroth 12y agoRight, how does all this impact the I-DVR that I rent to my "friend" for $10 in BTC each month, to defray the cost of my internet bill? It would be interesting to see a decentralized Aereo make another go at this.
