"Personal Libraries"
How can they get away with flagging broadcast radio as copy-protected? I'm pretty sure the Sony case back in the 80's said that time-shifting programming (which this would seem to be) is legal fair use. The digital receivers they're talking about here don't work any differently than Tivo or a VCR, both of which are still legal, last time I checked (unless they're planning on changing that, too??)
