Downloading TV Shows

Downloading TV Shows 08/15/2004 11:15 PM

Let's say I have a meeting on Monday nights during the time that Fox's awesome guilty pleasure, "North Shore," is on. I don't have a VCR anymore, so I can't tape it. And I don't have a Tivo either. What am I to do?

Well, I can download the show. There are any number of P2P clients out there with which you can get a perfect, full-screen, letterboxed, high-definition, stereo-sound copy of any TV show. An hour-long show will download in anywhere from one to a few hours, depending on the time of day. It's very practical to download a show you missed.

So, let's say I download and watch "North Shore." Have I broken any laws? It's not like I stole anything — I'm a paying cable TV subscriber and I have the cancelled checks to prove it. I could have watched the show for free if I was home during the time it aired. Additionally, if I had a VCR, I could have taped it and gotten the same effect — watching the same show at a different time.

This is called "time shifting." There was a Supreme Court decision back in 1979 about the VCR in which the Court ruled that taping a show and watching it later was legal — the user was simply "shifting the time" in which he or she watched the show. Here's a note from the Museum of Broadcast Communication:

Handing down its decision in October 1979, the U.S. District Court ruled in favor of Sony, stating that taping off air for entertainment or time shifting constituted fair use; that copying an entire program also qualified as fair use; that set manufacturers could profit from the sale of VCRs; and that the plaintiffs did not prove that any of the above practices constituted economic harm to the motion picture industry.

(The term "time shifting," incidentally, is where The Shifted Librarian draws its name.)

The only way I can see that someone got short-changed is that I didn't watch any commercials (on most posted versions, they've been edited out). So, this is a drag for the advertisers, but here's the thing: I don't watch commercials anyway. I'm a quick-draw on the remote when a commercial comes on. I channel surf until they're over. Or I get up and go to the bathroom,or get something to drink, or finally listen to what my little girl has been deperately trying to tell me since the last commercial. Additionally, if I taped the show with a VCR, I'd fast-forward through the commercials.

I think the content type matters. I very much put TV shows in a different league than downloading a movie for which I would normally have to buy a ticket, or music for which I'd have to buy a CD. I pay for cable, so in my mind, I'm entitled to watch the show whenever I want.

I also draw a distinction between distributing a show and receiving a distribution. I'm perfectly entitled to receive a distribution — that's what I do whenever I watch TV. However, you have to be careful with your P2P client because there's a good chance you could be distributing it as well, especially if you use a BitTorrent client or have it in a shared folder for something like Kazaa.

If you proactively distribute the show — make it available to others who may not be cable TV subscribers in a position to watch it for free on TV — then you may be guilty of something.

At the risk of sounding combative, who are the TV stations to decide when I have to physically plant myself in front of the TV? I put up with cable rate increases every year, so I'll watch the show whenever I please, thank you very much.

The bottom line, in my mind, is that I pay for cable TV. I'm just not home when the show I want to watch is aired. Am I over-simplifying this? Am I just trying to rationalize something? I'm torn.

Downloading isn't killing music

Downloading isn't killing music 07/22/2004 11:43 AM
Suw Charman has written an excellent article for the Guardian on my pal Koleman Strumpf's empirical, quantitative research on the effect of downloading on record sales (he concluded that it doesn't really have one), and the music industry's content-free bluster in reply.

"We consider it a very flawed study," says Matt Phillips, a BPI spokesperson. Both the BPI and the International Federation for the Phonographic Industries (IFPI) have criticised the study for including the Christmas period when people are buying CDs as gifts.

"It's very straightforward to address these kinds of criticisms," says Strumpf. "We got rid of the Christmas season and just looked at the first half of our data. We still find the same effect."...

"Over the period 1999 to 2003, DVD prices fell by 25% and the price of players fell in the US from over $1,000 to almost nothing," says Strumpf. "At the same time, CD prices went up by 10%. Combined DVD and VHS tape sales went up by 500m, while CD sales fell by 200m, so a possible explanation is that people were spending on DVDs instead of CDs."

Is Downloading TV Shows Legal?

Is Downloading TV Shows Legal? 08/11/2004 02:35 AM
Salon is running a piece on how many people are sharing and downloading TV shows using tools like BitTorrent, some going a bit further than the original broadcat ching concept to create applications, like Buttress designed specifically as an RSS aggregator for BitTorrented TV shows. The article delves into one interesting issue that not too many people have discussed: is downloading a publicly broadcasted TV show illegal? As the article notes, it would be very difficult to show any kind of "harm" from such a download. Obviously, sharing premium content shows is a different issue, but what if someone already subscribes to the premium station in question? The real issue is that the TV industry suddenly has less control. There is also the fact that with the way BitTorrent works, anyone downloading a show is also automatically uploading a show -- but, again, this is a situation where the entertainment industry appears to be shooting themselves in the foot. For years, they've tried to come up with systems for TV-on-demand, and here's a way that users have figured out how to do it for them. The people downloading TV shows via BitTorrent are watching more TV, which should be good for the industry. Unfortunately, the industry still only thinks in terms of how much they control, rather than how much they can serve the needs of their viewers. It's amazing that the industry is so good at missing every opportunity that seems to come its way. Unfortunately, the industry also seems to view intellectual property law as a way of protecting business models, rather than protecting content. That they can't see a new opportunity staring them in the face speaks volumes about the sorts of "business" minds running the entertainment industry.

Downloading your hotmail inbox

Downloading your hotmail inbox 12/02/2003 12:40 AM

Adrian just pointed me to a fantastic tool: Gotmail, a utility to download mail from Hotmail accounts. It's a command line utitlity, written in Perl and making use of the curl binary, which can connect to Hotmail over the web and grab any new emails, saving them locally as an mbox file and deleting them from the Hotmail server.

Naturally, anything like this is completely dependent on Hotmail's design staying the same and maintaining the tool is a constant arms race. At the moment, Hotmail is ahead - a recent upgrade to the Hotmail design (some time in the last few days) has rendered Gotmail useless. A call for help on the Gotmail mailing list from the lead developer makes particularly interesting reading. He's looking for developers and users who can help with the debugging effort required to get the tool working again, but the last paragraph of the email really caught my attention:

Developers: If you have some Python proficiency, and would like to assist in developing the next generation of Gotmail (development name: gotfemail), email me off-list. I have some pretty ambitious plans for this project, and depending on how much is actually implemented, Hotmail breakages should be either self-fixing or very simple to fix. I've done some work on making a generic library for this sort of job (so the fetchyahoo people and others might be interested), and some preliminary work on embedding the Javascript interpreter from the Mozilla project.

A self-fixing screen scraper sounds like one heck of an interesting project, and I can't complain about the choice of development language either ;) If you're a Python hacker looking for a new project this could be well worth checking out.

Legal downloading growing rapidly

Legal downloading growing rapidly 12/02/2003 12:16 AM

Users are downloading copyrighted files through authorized, for-pay services at a rapidly expanding rate . A new study from Ipsos-Insight describes a variety of users increasingly choosing to pay for downloads , a hitherto rare event.

[R]oughly one out of six (16%) American downloaders aged 12 and older had paid a fee to download music or MP3 files off of the Internet. This translates into roughly 10 million people within the current U.S. population (according to 2000 U.S. Census figures).

“A twofold increase in the number of American downloaders exposed to for-pay music downloads in just a six month timeframe (compared 8% in December 2002 and 13% in April 2003) signals a remarkable shift in downloader behavior,” said Matt Kleinschmit, Director for Ipsos-Insight, and author of the TEMPO research .

This study comes as some colleges consider supporting legal download services on campus.

The Money In Music Downloading Is Still
In Hardware 12/09/2003 01:19 PM
As just about every company finalizes their plans to set up their own imitation music download store, a new study is suggesting (as has been said before), that the real money in downloadable music is for consumer electronics firms selling more hardware to play back the music. The study also found that an awful lot of people really aren't interested in paying for downloadable music. Of course, I'm still waiting for someone to go ahead and offer a complete musical package. That would be a music player that comes complete with a ton of music already installed - perhaps covering a certain (prolific) artist, or an entire genre. It could also come with some sort of service that would let users download new songs in that category as they come out. Of course, as it stands right now, the recording industry would force the price to be so high on any such offering that it could never be done.

A new study shows that completely unsurprising results that most people don't think the RIAA should be suing people for downloading. While the majority of those over 55 had no problem with the lawsuits, under that age barrier they felt the RIAA was going too far. Of course, the RIAA lawsuits are not about downloading. Every one of the lawsuits so far have been about offering songs (i.e., potentially uploading songs) rather than the actual downloading of songs. Still, it certainly suggests that people are getting fed up with the RIAA's heavy handed tactics.

Because there aren't already enough different (and often incompatible) music download stores online, various British newspapers are now looking to get into the game. It seems odd that so many brands that have absolutely nothing to do with music retailing somehow think they can now make selling downloadable music a worthwhile business, especially when there's so much competition and so few ways to differentiate.
