Copy protection and the TiVo
®
Service
The TiVo Service allows you to enjoy many kinds of media content:
television programs, movies, digital music and photos, and new forms of
entertainment delivered by broadband.
Copyright is a form of legal protection provided to the authors of media
content. Copyright holders may set limits on how their content may be used.
And content providers may restrict or limit the ability to record, display,
view or transfer any particular program using a variety of copy protection
mechanisms.
Different types of content may require different types of copyright
protection. For example, programs may be encoded with rules that specify
how long a program can be saved, whether it can be copied to another
device, or whether it can be recorded at all.
TiVo, along with all other licensees of copyright protection technology,
respects the rules defined by the copyright holder. As such, the TiVo
Service incorporates technology that ensures that you are allowed to enjoy
the content, and that the copyright holder is protected.
