I guess you missed the legal part. If I had recorded it off the TV it would be "fair use" as well. There was no crime and the producers and distributers profited from me when I purchashed the item. How is this a crime? your accusation is weak. What legal part? That is your opinion. There has been a ruling on the VCR-TV issues for quite a while now, and since the RIAA gets a cut of Blank Tapes (bad idea IMHO) it was settled. Still, I believe that the justification for the ruling was a "time shift" not "fair use".

What legal part? That is your opinion. No, "fair use" is the law when dealing with broadcast media. It is perfectly legal to record broadcast media for home use.

The RIAA gets a cut from CDRs too.
