[mythtv-users] Day Dream MythTV P2P Network

[Cedar McKay]

Completely uninteresting to me. The bandwith requirements are too much 
and I don't like the idea of exposing the project to legal risk. I 
believe that linux people have a underserved reputation as pirates, and 
add on top of that the broad appeal myth could have and I think it is 
possible that some big powerful companies would come sniffing around 
trying to find something illegal about what we do. I think if we stick 
to exercising our fair use right to time-shift content, and stay away 
from anything fishy we would be able to withstand such scrutiny. The 
last thing we need is to see Isaac hauled to court by the TV industry.
