According to some of the arguments given today regarding filesharing, the very recording of an artword is an infringement. Especially if you use the recording to allow other to view it at another time. And my comments regarded the recording and skipping over commercials which negates their purpose and thus hurts the people that work on those products the same way that reading copied comics (Groo, for instance) hurts the comic creators (such as Sergio and M.E.).<BR>
If the photocopying of art work is illegal, then is it not the same for recording a program?<BR>
