Boucher: Leave the Slingbox Alone

BOUCHER: LEAVE SLING BOX ALONE
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: Glen Dickson]
Although some question the legality of Sling Media’s Slingbox device, which allows consumers to “place shift” their television viewing from their home TV to any computer with an Internet connection, Rep Rick Boucher (D-VA) said “It’s hard for me to believe that it hurts the intellectual-property rights of anyone.” He thinks the Slingbox allows viewers to watch their home television under fair-use principles. He said, “I think televisions stations would be delighted their signals are being extended” to someone in another city or another continent.
