Bullshit. If someone is going to pirate, then that's their choice and their moral flaw, not TiVo's. No one is entitled to free entertainment, if you can't afford it, you go without. There are many things I'd love to see, and I could get for free from BitTorent, etc, and I don't - because I don't support piracy.Do I strip DRM? Yep. But that's not piracy. I legally own the media. It may be a violation of the DMCA and/or a user agreement (TiVo or iTunes), but I don't distribute the content or download pirated content.I wouldn't count on TiVo Decode working indefinitely.TiVo could create a Mac solution, but felt the resources it would take - hiring the developers, etc - were better spent elsewhere for the company. That's business. Because they didn’t give people a free solution they’re encouraging piracy? Bullshit. If someone is going to pirate, then that’s their choice and their moral flaw, not TiVo’s.

Its a scam to line Sonic's pockets and a blanket admission that Tivo lacks the competence to create a Mac solution. It is good to know that Tivo is encouraging piracy.
