Time Warner to Allow Digital Recording

Posted by timothy on from the but-that's-stealing dept.

platypussrex writes "CNN is reporting that some Time Warner cable customers will be offered the ability to use digital recording. The article says they will not have a commercial zapping feature but even the use of digital recording seems a major turn-around from what the entertainment industry has been saying so far. I wonder if this will help TiVo and ReplyTV gain 'legitimacy'?"

    This is exactly what the record companies are trying with their doomed-to-fail mp3 portals. They will do a terrible job, so that they can go to the courts and say, "look, we tried, people don't want to do things the legal way" and have TiVo banned as a pirating tool that uses that terrorist hippie Lunix operating system.
