Best Answer

The Supreme Court ruled that it is legal to record television shows to play at a more convenient time. This is different than obtaining a copy to avoid paying for the movie and causing economic harm to the movie company. Read about the 1984 decision of Universal Studios v. Sony Corporation of America. Mr. Rogers said he had no problem with families playing his show at a more convenient time.
