MPAA Targets TV Download Sites
KenDaMan writes "ZDNet.com is reporting that the MPAA is targeting websites that serve as traffic directors for BitTorrent swaps. From the article: 'Continuing its war on Internet file-swapping sites, the Motion Picture Association of America said Thursday that it has filed lawsuits against a half-dozen hubs for TV show trading.' Apparently it is OK to record TV as long as your aren't sharing it."

If Slashdot is full of dumbasses, then what the fuck are you doing here reading it, dumbass?
A VCR lets you keep the tapes, you can't take any content off a TiVo. Once you run out of room, you have to delete the show. And you can't record and skip commercials. With a VCR you can pause during commercials.
It is too bad the SVHS did not catch on. Near DVD like quality, surround sound, better than what VHS is. Plus, if you want to loan a tape to a friend, you can.
I'll give one more example of why TiVo sucks. I was going to work late one friday night, and called a friend of mine to record a show. He said he only had a TiVo, but would record it. He was leaving saturday morning to go home for the weekend. If he had a tape, I could have stopped to pick it up. But TiVo requires I be in his house to see it.
TiVo is taking away your choices, your rights. As content goes from analog to digital, there will be more content encrypted. TiVo will side with the producers, to get the ability to save this content. Before, with VHS, everything was standard, the producers could not get away with it.
