totally wrong, the same act that grant you an exclusive rights of distribution put an exclusionary clause around those rights called fair use.
The law itself give me a fair use right to copy content under certain conditions, and the betamax case makes timeshifting one of those conditions.
i have a right to timeshift any show i paid for (when i paid my cable bill) the fact that i use torrents to do that does not change the fact that i still have a right to timeshift shows i paid for.
