but that my point and that why it exactly the same as the torrent swarm

cable vision used the public internet to deliver the copy too

the public nature of the transmission did not invalidate the timeshifting.

it was not a completely private network, with dedicated hard bound lines to your house,

cablevisions cloud included the internet, local bgp peers, local cable loops the settop box and the remote servers.

many of those parts were public in nature.

the point was that transmission not the broadcast was public
the transmission delivered a private copy, which was played in the privacy of the subcribers home.

the fact that it was possible if you had the skill to hack the data stream and take a copy without paying did not make cable vision offering illegal.

The distinct copy is private. It can't be anything but.
but that the point the distinct copy in the case of the swarm is also private

if i press play, on the copy i downloaded, it play for me only
if i press pause it pauses for me only

the swarm is public, but the distinct copy is private

just like cable vision transmission is public but the distinct copy that is being played is private.
