MPAA Cracking Down on TV Torrent Sites

sallgeud writes "It appears the other shoe has dropped and the MPAA is now going after sites which link to torrents of TV shows. The beef with redistributing copyrighted material seems to make sense... but I'm wondering if it makes a difference in the world of DVR. The vast majority of downloads appeared to be of content that is broadcast free over the airwaves. I'm wondering how much different this is than going after Tivo? Would these sites have been hit with lawsuits if they had stuck to purely over-the-air broadcasts?"

the sick man of europe when it comes to broadband? i'm a brit. i can walk out of my house for twenty miles in any direction and neither see a house without a broadband connection, nor be outside the range of wlans plugged into such [unless i catch the tube, in which case i am underground, and only get wlan access half the time]

But you have to admit, you are the sick man of Europe when it comes to capital letters.

Here, I'll loan you a few spares I have sitting around.
