Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else on the list knows whether that is the case. 2) There are far easier ways to pirate copyrighted entertainment content (like buy the discs, professional duplicating hardware, and just dup them) which I would wager is what actual pirates do 99% of the time > which is a serious security hole. If you are a content company it's a security hole, if you are a TiVO owner, it's a feature.
