SonicBlue Ordered to Spy on ReplayTV Viewers

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Got outrage? According to a story on SiliconValley.com, a federal magistrate has ordered SonicBlue to track ReplayTV users' every click to see what they're watching, recording, skipping (commercials) and e-mailing to friends. The info is to be given to the entertainment industry control freaks who are suing SonicBlue for allegedly abetting copyright violations."

Mess with their stats!

Here's what the users should do:

• Pause during ads, rewind over a particularly annoying one and run it through several times.
• Record programmes and then do not watch them.
• Record programmes and watch them entirely in fast-forward.
• Record infomercials and leave them running while you go out.
• Generally do anything you can to skew the statistics (people seem to really like infomercials, perhaps we here at OmniCorp should bring out an infomercial-only channel?)
