Risk of what? There *is* no risk. They aren't stripping encryption,
so they don't violate the DMCA. So what, exactly, are they at risk of
that the VCR and DVD recorder industry hasn't been at risk of for
decades?
Heck, arguably this thing is even safer: it doesn't store the data on
any kind of permanent storage medium. It's literally just a component
-> MPEG4 encoder -> USB transport path.
I argue this because, frankly, this screams of baseless paranoia, and
it's a little frustrating to see it crop up time and time again.
Brett.
