ReplayTV Users v. Hollywood

Bravo! The Electronic Frontier Foundation is helping a group of ReplayTV users to sue the entertainment industry (meaning the MPAA) in order to keep the rights that current copyright law and legal precedent give them – the rights to record broadcast tv shows, to skip commercials, etc. — the stuff you can do with every VCR in existence now. When will the industry learn? Ugh.
