Triumph. Indeed some beautiful uses of fair use. Fair use to record the tv program to my hard drive... Fair use to convert the video format to one viewable by my cell phone... Fair use to stream it to my cell phone for my own personal enjoyment.
M'lud that wraps up the case for the defence...

I'd prefer a truly rich web experience on my phone WAY more than streaming TV garbage.

The article seems to mention streaming movies you have already pre-recorded, which is all well and good but if you are just going to watch pre-recorded films whats stopping you from just sticking them on your phone the next time its in the base station?
I would've thought with MythTV in the equation that streaming live TV and being able to change channels (on your phone) would be the killer app.
