Probably also against the “Terms of Use” for any web site that is serving up something interesting (NetFlix/Hulu). We all read those too, right? When we signed up ?
These days it seems more difficult to capture the stream on sites like that.
But frankly the idea of capture appeals to my hacker/libertarian side. If it made its way into my home it’s mine !
I can’t at all get behind any laws that criminalize deciphering/decoding radio waves. If it impinges on my body I have a right to do anything I want with it. You have a right to encode and scramble it as much as you want but if you can’t keep it out of my living room it’s mine to do with what I want.
I don’t find it cost effective to do anything unconventional with radio waves, but that’s how I feel about it. And in general I’m all for it if you can figure out how to do that, just look out for the DRM police.
