Three motion picture studios have joined the three major TV networks who
have filed lawsuits against personal video recorder (PVR) maker
ReplayTV, whose latest model, the ReplayTV 4000, allows users to share
videos over the Internet. The studios, 20th Century Fox, MGM, and
Vivendi Universal, claim that the device enables users to make perfect
digital copies of copyrighted programming and then distribute them to
friends, thereby depriving the studios of revenue they might otherwise
receive from DVD sales.
