Hollywood continues de-featuring your PVR
A middle-level executive at Time Warner has approached several cable companies and broached the idea of restricting the ability of customers who use those company's Digital Video Recorders to record several popular Time Warner TV programs.
The term being used by the executive is"transitional fair use," and the scenerio laid out goes roughly along these lines:
Viewers would be able to record an episode with their DVR, but there would be a time limit on how long it would be available for viewing. The executive was pushing for an expiration date that coincided with the premiere of the next episode. The consensus of the cable executived was that it needed to be between 2-4 weeks.
One more reason to buy a Replay before they're illegal.
