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.
