how exactly is the transmission public if as you claim it only fair use if it controled by a single company.
By definition a single company controling it would make it private.

I think he is arguing that with this case if you tell the DVR to record a show it makes a copy of that show and only you have access to it Only you can play it thus it is a private copy.
If you seed a show via torrent you are sharing that copy with many other people therefore it is no longer private.
