COURT CAN'T SEE CABLEVISION FOR WHAT IT IS
[SOURCE: Los Angeles Times, AUTHOR: Editorial Staff]
[Commentary] The Supreme Court ruled more than 20 years ago that recording TV shows on your VCR is legal. Nowadays, technology allows your cable company to essentially keep those shows on its VCR, not yours. Yet a federal court has ruled that this system violates copyright law. What's the difference? This is not a case of technology changing behavior. It's a case of the law failing to adjust to new technology. As the world becomes more connected and digital, it will become less important where people choose to store the data they've paid for. Law and policy should reflect that, and let the best technology win the marketplace.
