This same arguement was made back in the 70's with VCR's. Right now, I have a copy of 'E.T.' on VHS form TBS. Am I the equivilent of a downloader? The industry got around this by reaping a % from black tape sales. I believe they have done this with CDR's too.

Yep, I've read too that the RIAA already makes money off CDRs. Their greed has no boundries.

Private home recording from television that you have a right to view (broadcast, or cable you are paying for) is just fine.
