1. Who says a store bought dvd is a movie? You never purchased something =
like Stargate season 1? I happen to own seasons 1 thru 8, do you have = any
idea how long it would take to rip and divx encode that many = episodes?
Why should everyone who paid for the rights to own it have to = spend time
again and again encoding it to view over a network DVD = player? It's no
different than if you had someone convert all your = record albums to DVD
for you. Perfectly legal activity.

2. Off the air recordings. You never had a friend record some show with = a
VCR and lend you the tape?

3. Tivo is a 3rd party whom charges you for the service. So if they =
aren't doing the recording for you then what service are you paying for?

4. This is the barktopus, subjects don't change as the discussion =
mutates. Complain to the sysop if you don't like it. (where is John O =
anyway?)

connection to tivo.
