[Note: No surprises here. The MPAA pulled this same stunt with ReplayTV
and drove that company off the map. I fail to understand why TiVo didn't seem to learn anything from that lesson. DLH] People keep saying this, there's not much evidence to support it. Sonic Blue (ReplayTV's parent company) had enormous debts (from acquiring companies like ReplayTV) relative to the cost of the lawsuits involving ReplayTV. They went bankrupt because they owed hundreds of millions of dollars to investors, that debt didn't come from the MPAA's lawsuit. -- J.
