Pete, this was national news back in the eighties! Where were you, man?

I was here, and recall that the decision allowed time-shifting, but not
archiving. As I've already stated.

The attention give to it was of the same magnitude as the RIAA nonsense
today!

Newps could probably give you a cite if he took enough time . . . Aww
hell,
let me take a look for you . . . . google, google, tap tap Ah, here it
is. In no more than 10 seconds, too (ain't the 'net just great?).:

Unfortunately, the citation you've provided only relates how the VCR was
deemed legal. File sharing software is legal as well, but that doesn't mean
that all uses of the software are legal, nor are all uses of the VCR legal.

Pete
