I was unaware that copying a broadcast movie was in violation of any copyright laws. I stand corrected. Please understand that I do NOT condone the copying of ANY copyrighted material of any kind at any time. In addition, please understand that as my signature states, I speak ONLY for my self and not the policies or practices of Apple Computer. Todd's accusations against Apple are uncalled for and quite in error. I will admit to being not perfect (but now a bit more perfect :-) ). I appologize for any misunderstanding this original request may have caused. If anyone sees another copy of this posting made by Todd South I would appreciate knowing so that I may follow up and retract my error there as well. Seems Todd wasn't sure enough of himself to face me directly with my error and has plastered his accusation all over the net. His efforts are not appreciated. -Owen- (rubin@apple.com) The views expressed are those of the writer -- but then who really cares?!

Please >Todd's accusations against Apple are uncalled for and quite in error. >-Owen- (rubin@apple.com) Owen, last I checked (from the great discussion about a month back) it was Ok to copy broadcast shows for 'delayed viewing' so long as you were only showing it in your own home. If I remember correctly, there was also no limit to the number of times you could 'delayed view' it. Todd, was there any real purpose to your more than somewhat immature barb here? I think that was really uncalled-for (and I think that you owe Owen an apology, as opposed to the one that he already posted to the world in general which he shouldn't have needed to do.) tsk, tsk.
