Optus trumps Telstra in war for digital PVR freedom

Pirate

isn't this piracy.......

Surely if I was to rebroadcast in any format, ie record and then email a copy to a friend, this would be considered copyright piracy?

Foxtel for a long time couldn't rebroadcast channel 7s and 10s digital channels until they had an agreement. Surely the AFL and NRL as copyright holders should be able to stipulate how it is shown. Telstra payed a hefty AU$150million for the right to the online content, channel 7 payed a heap more to show every game live. Surely Channel 7 haven't been consulted? I wouldn't think Optus would play the matches with channel 7 ads left in?

Bugger it i'm going make my own app to do this to all my favourite shows that i can't watch when i'm home.

RE: So if it worked they'd be all for it?

Of course they'd be for it. They already tried a software filter previously, it didn't work either. I don't like the labor filter but it only takes 2 minutes to work around only God and the Mad Monk (abbott) knows what the liberals actual policy is going to say.
