edit: wasn't what you're saying might be their primary complaint the very reason the legal-eagles in the entire industry were against VCRs having a record button? Like, back in 1985 or so? I thought this was already long-settled law.... not that it matters in a practical sense, as there's no way for 'them' to know you're recording whatever happens to be on your desktop and oh yes, a movie just happens to be playing, imagine that...
