[vdr] PVR users are thieves

[Andreas Roedl <flood@flood-net.de>]

Hello!

>From /.:

It was bound to happen - 2600.com is reporting that Turner Broadcasting CEO 
Jamie Kellner is calling PVR users thieves. When asked why personal video 
recorders are bad for the industry, Keller says 'Because of the ad skips.... 
It's theft. Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're 
going to watch the spots. Otherwise you couldn't get the show on an 
ad-supported basis. Any time you skip a commercial or watch the button you're 
actually stealing the programming.' Since when have we made contracts with 
the broadcasters for watching their content? More of the 2600 article can be 
found here.
