for people who live in a country with a piracy tax that goes towards software it may be an "accidentally" licienced distribution (see canada and the CRIA supreme court case)
For all the rest it would be a copyright infringement. So go and find those people and send them to jail. The fact that those people are committing a crime with the technology shouldn't stop me from using it for a legitimate purpose (timeshifting tv shows)

I must of missed it when the new batman movie aired.
I don't have HBO anymore maybe I can reverse time-shift some HBO programs because I plan on picking it up when the weather gets cooler.

of course the product placement within the movie could represent the 3 conditions of a valid licience (offer acceptance and consideration). Which could result in another "acidental" liciencing (a la the canadian piracy tax). Although i understand no one has made that arguement yet. So for right now that would represent the scum bag attempt to use fair use to illegally justify copyright infringement.
make sure you notify HBO that you are doing this and they can save you a cell right beside this guy. Hey maybe you can share the same cell.
