I just read the court decision in the Cablevision RS-DVR lawsuit, and the courts decision that Cablevision's system did NOT violate the defendant's copyrights is VERY clear and comprehensive. It is clear they know exactly what is going on.I recommend reading it at http://www.publicknowledge.org/pdf/cablevision-decision-20080804.pdf. Might give you some faith in American justice.Anyway, I'll still say most judges and most juries can't understand this stuff, but there is some hope... Actually, I take that back.

Anyway, I’ll still say most judges and most juries can’t understand this stuff, but there is some hope…

That seems to imply he is admitting they did at one time. So does this mean he is only fighting part of the original battle now, or something else entirely?

Even if they didn't violate Tivo's patents, the trial could go against them anyway. Easily. This stuff is just too complex for lay people, including judges, to understand.
