TiVo’s DRM Reportedly Cracked
Categories: Copyright • DMCA-like Laws • DRM Arms Race • DRM Circumvention • DRM-Free Services • Fair Use/Dealing • Piracy
Gizmodo, Engadget and others are reporting that the folks at SourceForge.net have successfully hacked the TiVo DRM using a program they call the TiVo File Decoder.
Dale's Comment: If true, expect a patch from TiVo soon! 
Unfortunately for those of us waiting for the TiVo Series 3 software upgrade that was due out about now, my guess is we'll be waiting awhile longer while TiVo's engineers work at sorting this one out.
