this is a back door around the betamax decision...people have the LEGAL RIGHT to record whatever they damn well please off the TV for personal use.
True, but there is a slight problem, that in this case it was actually a 5-4 decision, ive done enough research on the court system for this year's debate topic to tell you that this is a super weak example. in the upcoming court if this was brought up i have a slight feeling that it could be overturned because this will be brought up again in the supreme court if this broadcast flag is passed through congress and especially with the recent unpleasentry of Roberts being essentially confirmed for chief justice, im afraid of the supreme court ruling in favor of the broadcast flag.
