And if Tivo did sell their crap in Germany, I bet, Harald had brought them
down years ago (as he did in the "tivoized" Siemens router case). But Tivo
doesn't (they started in the UK, and stopped doing so right after Harald
unlocked that Siemens router ;-), and in the US, courts may think
different. Or they rely that there simply is no Harald Welte in the US, who
goes after the violators.
