I guess many of us see this kind of bill as another effort to restrict fair use of copyright material. My wife and I program our DVR to record TV shows selected by name for later viewing. How come it is legal to record TV shows selected by name with a VCR/TiVo/DVD recorder, etc., and even record standard radio with a cassette or MP3 player, but it is so wrong to record satellite radio music selected by name???
I believe if this bill passes the media companies will continue to pay our polititians to enact further restrictions including TV recording.
