Of course if you (and robbie) keep making the arguement that those technologies are good, arguing that i shouldn't be allowed to do the exact same thing using a cloud
(especially when the courts recognized that right) is just plain stupidity.

No asswipe. It is you who make that bullshit argument.
Paying for cable is a service. A subscription to receive a broadcast to be exact. Just because you pay to receive that service does not entitle you to copy everything, and make a profit off it. At not point do the media companies give you copyright permission of any kind.
Same with listening to the radio. Just because you receive the signal does not give you permission to record the latest songs, and then copy them, and rebroadcast or sell them.
Just because you paid to rent a movie at blockbuster does not give you the right to copy that DVD, and rebroadcast it, or make copies for others and profiteer from it.
Or even better one. I pay for a movie ticket, and I go into the theatre with a camera, and record the movie. I go home, digitize it, and rebroadcast it on torrents, tube sites, whatever because I am 'time shifting' my movie I bought for 8.95. Now I have the RIGHT to copy, and rebroadcast using youtube as my hard drive.
Your bullshit, fucked up logic goes something like this... I rent a movie from blockbuster. I then make a copy of it. I then show it at a movie theatre nightly for 300 people because I choose a movie theater as my time shifting, back up of the movie I rented.
That is how fucked up your argument is. Now, in reading that in words, any court of law would strike down your fucked up bullshit time shifting argument.
I can't wait until they do. Then you will have to find something else to do than troll message boards trying to get people worked up. While I admit I have not read all the threads on this board, I have yet to see a threat where a single people in this industry agrees with you or your argument.
