The Electronic Privacy Information Center will support and appeal and Consumer Electronics Association released a press release where they condemn monitoring individual users preferences. SonicBlue have until June 24 to put the tracking in action, and the data collected will determine whether the users of ReplayTV meet the "Fair Use" criteria established in the Betamax case."
