Public Knowledge Supports the Right to Record in the Southern District of New York

Today, Public Knowledge asked the District Court for the Southern District of New York to uphold the home recording rights of television viewers.

In the case known as In Re Autohop Litigation, PK opposed ABC's motion for a preliminary injunction against DISH's Hopper DVR, arguing that home recording of television programs is lawful even when viewers skip past commercials. 

PK's brief can be found here.
 
In September, PK filed in a similar case in the Central District of California, involving DISH and Fox.  A press release concerning that filing can be found here.
