TiVo, ReplayTV Agree to Limits

Grump writes "This story reports that 'The makers of TiVo and ReplayTV digital video recorders have agreed to limit how long consumers can keep pay-for-view movies stored on future versions of the VCR-like devices.' Is this fair, or erosion of more fair-use rights?"

    And how long before someone breaks whatever method they use to perform the restriction?

    My bet is less than a month after they're first made available to the public.
