The whole point of timeshifting is that it COVERED unauthorized broadcasts
that was the section of the ruling.
your arguement it total bullshit,
your trying to say that access shifting should not exist for reasons that timeshifting already ruled was invalid.

Dude, debating with you is like trying swat a hornets nest. You can't stay on topic and just fire bullshit until you wear the person out.
I have said time and again that people should be allowed to record TV shows and that I don't care if they download them.
TV is a different thing from movies. TV is broadcast for free to anyone with an antenna. You can't do something like that and still control what people do with it. A movie is a different thing. When I put a movie into the theater I can control how it is viewed, by whom it is viewed, where and when it is viewed and even how much people pay to view it.
If I then choose to not release the movie on a VHS tape that should not give someone else the rights to sell my movie on a VHS tape and it should not give someone the right to just take my movie for free.
