Cory Doctorow <a title=“Boing Boing: Could “noise” cause a TiVo to block recording? Experts say no” href=“http://www.boingboing.net/2005/09/15/could_noise_cause_a_.html">reports that he’s been told by DRM experts that line noise could not cause the copying restrictions that people are seeing with their Tivos. The restrictions are part of a Macrovision copy protection scheme, and Tivo claims that the protection is being tripped by data errors, as opposed to being enabled purposefully by broadcasters. I’ll be following this story as it develops.
