  2. Re:How about remote recording and download on UK Leads in TV Show Downloading · · Score: 1

    mm. backwards time shifting.. ..this is little bit tricky..
    I live in australia.

    But it is legal for an australian to travel to USA and legally record and watch a show over there. The question is whether it is legal to do it remotely from Australia? It is not a matter of backward time shifting viewing future australia show. But a matter of remote viewing, recording, downloading my own show (if we make it a little stricter, what if i own the remote device and recording free to air shows)

    BTW, are some popular shows (e.g. 24) free to air?

  4. How about remote recording and download on UK Leads in TV Show Downloading · · Score: 1

    Here is a question from people outside USA and want to download a show:

    What if I have remote access to a computer/PVR which can record shows in USA. And I personally click a button to record a copy of the show and then download it off to my australia computer for time-shifting viewing which is legal?

    It is a little bit stretch here... what if a USA company set up a remote recording service and allow users to set up their own timers to record a show and have it ready for download.
    Maybe the users who have legally recorded the same show can even use BT to quickly download since they have basically the rights to the exact same recordings.

    I want to patent this idea. :-P Or for the price of free life time access to this service.

    hi,
    of course you can. I use Fitalystamp, just like this one. I can write normal notes above 40wpm easily. And it saves a lot of enery in tapping than sliding.
    Try it. You won't stick out your tongue.
