Courtesy of Engadget, a new service just begging to be shut down by a squadron of lawyers from the MPAA. Rent My DVR is a new peer-to-peer service that allows users to buy and sell TV programming. Users can scan listings of TV shows recorded on DVRs and order a program for about $.25 a piece.
Uploaders can receive about $.25 a piece for sharing their recorded programs. Founder Mickey Langberg says the service is legal because it’s just like asking your neighbor to record a program for you. I think not, or at least I’m pretty sure that copyright holders won’t see it this way.
