>[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.
