Is that an intended consequence of the legislation or are they thinking more
of PPV type situations? I mean, it kind of makes sense to argue that you
shouldn't timeshift something from a particular source if it is available
on-demand from that source. But to say that you shouldn't timeshift a
program on a TV channel just because it's available on the net (or
vice-versa) doesn't make sense. You might not have access to the on-demand
source.
