Why Hollywood Hates the TiVo Consumers Love

AFAIK, TiVo has done nothing illegal. They came up with a better timeshifting mousetrap, marketed it, and built a business.

It sounds to me like Hollywood is telling them "You should have come to us first, so we could gouge a part of either the functionality or revenue out of your business. That would have been better."

Ha! If Hollywood loses too much money and goes out of business, someone with smaller margins or better content will come along to take their place and make a business in this age of new media distribution.
