Cablevision wins on appeal: remote DVR lawful after all
Does it matter where a DVR's hard drive lives? Hardware from outfits
such as TiVo records shows onto a local disk, but the cable provider
Cablevision decided to dispense with dedicated hardware and a local
drive, and instead it rolled out a service where users could record
shows through their existing cable box; those recordings stayed on a
remote server in the central office for storage and playback. Content
providers sued, alleging copyright violations, and they won a landmark
injunction

appealed

sweeping victory that may clear the way for the company to deploy its
remote DVR service after all.
