| Nope, not here. It's legal to copy shows on your VCR or other

| Federal Copyright law, case law, time shifting. Sounds silly I know.
I think the technical issue is not the decoding but the theft of service.
If you steal cable or satellite, with a decoder box or otherwise, it falls
under theft of service and the carriers hit you with that, not copyright

| AHRA. Federal Constitutional law.
Neither the AHRA nor the Constitution of the United States say anything
about making copies of someone else's media. The Copyright Act of 1976
says you may *NOT* copy something you do not legally own or have explicit
right to copy. There is no conflict between the three statues.
