Interesting concept

I suppose there is little difference between a service that records what you ask it to then transmits it to a device of your choice and the ability to record locally, backup centrally and restore to a location of your choice.

It also seems something of a paradox that a country that is able to extend copyright in perpituity (more or less) also allows individuals to record and playback content that has been broadcasted, almost totally circumventing the aforementioned copyright.

Presumably the decision does not extend to streamed content such as on-demand movies, TV series episodes or music.
