Cloud Computing, Music Lockers, and the Supreme Court

Posted by timothy on from the advance-the-useful-arts-and-sciences dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Net speculation has swirled about the DOJ being stacked with media company-friendly attorneys who will throw the consumer under the bus, but in one of the first rulings, the Solicitor General defended network DVRs, mentioned cloud computing and a music locker — which has to be a first for a Supreme Court brief. Michael Robertson chronicles the latest developments and you can read the brief for yourself."

    I'm sorry, I TIVO'd the previous discussion and just now got around to playing it back.

    It's tough to pin down such a large group of people..

    Reject network DVRs -> Group A says: "Government in the MPAA/RIAA's pocket!" Defend network DVRs -> Group B says: "Government in the cable companies/ISP's pocket!"

    Wonder what group C thinks of this.

    Group C is only interested in how big the weathergirl's boobs are.
