Re: Wow -- He's going down to the man soon
I could not help but wonder what the legal rights were on distributing recorded content. Ie, I pay to distribute HBO, does that mean I can offer up every movie ever played on HBO on demand to my subscribers, or do I have to show the channel as it is broafcast?
I would have thought you would have to show the basic feed, but I could be misunderstanding. |

1 edit | Technically it is illegal for Canadians to watch HBO as that channel is not officially sanctioned by the federal authority (CRTC) that is essentially in charge of maintaining Canadian cultural purity. Along with the evil HBO are the Disney Channel, ESPN, Comedy Central, MovieMax, Fox News and many more. Forgive me if I cry no tears if/when this product renders the CRTC completely irrelevant. 
What's really cool IMO is the use of that Sharp handheld as a thin client. Talk about thin! |
