bullshit

the US supreme court just recently ruled that timeshifting was legal in a cloud

that cloud included the segments of the internet

that company has hundreds of thousands of customers of that RPVR service

and the company that provide that service turns a profit on that offering


so you are wrong on all three counts,

what you just said is exactly the problem i am talking about, reclassifying it as theft to try and squash fair use on the new technology.

if you define it as fraud you don't have that problem
because you realize that every person who subscribes to that RPVR service has a right to those shows, (because they bought the cable , and have the right to timeshift it)

which totally removes the deception since they actually have the right.
