Breaking the law
It really is a dumb law, so it's okay to break. Ever since I got that new cable box in the living room, it forces me to not record anything, giving me a message saying I can't due to copyright reasons any time I try. So I figured if I put the DVD recorder in my room where my older cable box is, it would let me. But stuff got in the way of me actually doing that. I figure the 2020 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade would be an interesting bit of history to have (with the coronavirus and all), and since Thanksgiving is coming up, I figured now would be a good time to do this.
So I put my DVD player in the living room so I can watch DVDs in there. That was the easy part and took about 15 minutes. The hard part was hooking up the DVD recorder to the TV in my room and make it be able to tape stuff on the TV. Total time I figured plugging and unplugging wires and trying to make it work: about 45 minutes-an hour. But I did it. So screw you TV networks, I am once again able to record TV again...until this cable box breaks *knocks on wood*. I can tape network TV. I can tape cable again.
Why is that a law? I'm not profiting off it. I'm just doing it for my own personal use. Like we had been since 1979 when my parents got their first VCR.
