Courts Won't Block Remote Storage DVR Systems

The Supreme Court has declined to hear arguments on whether a remote-storage DVR system violates copyright laws. That is good news for consumers, bad news for big studios and television networks.

For consumers, the action means that Cablevision and perhaps other cable system operators soon will be able to offer DVR service without need for a box in their homes. The remote storage unit exists on computer servers maintained by a cable provider.
