[Geek] Interesting read on internet copyright law

[NeedSpeed]

Basically a brief history of how these companies have tried to skirt around copyright law.

Why Johnny can’t stream: How video copyright went insane | Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/why-johnny-cant-stream-how-video-copyright-went-insane/)

I never followed it too closely, but the technology loopholes are just insane.

Cliffs? :D

Kinda hard to. :(

The main loophole is if subscribers have their own copy of content to download, it equates to legality of personal VCR.

So, to make a cloud based DVR it would be illegal to have one copy of a movie to stream to everyone, but fine if each user gets a copy on the server to download.

The other attempts you'll just have to read. :D
