This reminds me of an add they run on my cable where a guy is interviewing for a job. Then the interviewer notes that he has a criminal record. The inverviewee says "Oh that, I just had one of those cable descramblers, its was no big deal". The interviewer looks at him and says well this interview is over, or something like that. Then cue the ominous "Cable Theft, its a Crime," voice over. Every time and I mean EVERY time I see this add I can just hear them replacing the line about stealing cable with "I just recorded a show to watch later with my PVR", and replacing the cable theft line with "Recoding HD TV, its a Crime." At that point I just shake my head, because I know thats exactly how Big Media wants it to be. But I do still know one thing, I will do everything in my power to never ever honor the copy bit, no matter what.
