Networks and Studios Against PVRs

HiredMan sent in an LA Times story talking about more suits against PVR makers like Replay and Tivo. The most bizarre quote to me is that the suit argues that "it's illegal to let consumers record and store shows based on the genre, actors or other words in the program description." Huh?

What if?

Want to bet as soon as the networks/PVR ompanies figure out they can sped up the progarm slightly without degrading the quality noticably, thereby adding 1 commercial every hour, we see some alliances form real quick like? Of course, the ability to stream commercials based on a PVR's knowledge of what you watch, what you skip, and your demographics wouldn't be at all valuable.
