GOODMON: STOP THE SLINGBOX!
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: Joel Topcik]
Capitol Broadcasting President Jim Goodmon thinks that Slingbox, the
new gadget that allows one to watch and control a home TV remotely
via the Internet, is illegal. Goodmon suspects the Slingbox violates
program copyright laws -- and maybe retransmission-consent agreements
-- by enabling out-of-market viewing of network and syndicated
content. “I have a deal with the cable system,” he says, “and they
have retransmission consent for the cable system in this market. They
don't have it for everyplace else. They can't do that; there’s no way
that’s legal.”
