Movie Studios, NFL Petition FCC to Ban TiVo Content-Sharing Feature

San Jose, Calif. -- A number of Hollywood movie studios and the NFL have filed papers with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), seeking to block approval of a service from digital video recorder firm TiVo that would allow users to send recorded programs to laptops and PCs, the Associated Press reported. The TiVo To Go feature would also enable users to share shows with a limited number of friends -- but the copyright holders do not believe TiVo has installed sufficient safeguards against piracy. "We don't have a problem if you want to move the content to your summer home, or your boat, but the TiVo application does not require any kind of relationship with the sender," Motion Picture Association of America executive vice president Fritz Attaway told AP. "It could be to a nightclub in Singapore."
