Copy Protection, Privacy, and the TiVo Service
80Using the TiVoToGo feature, you may transfer content only between
TiVo DVRs to home computers on the same network subnet. For a
discussion of network subnets, please see Section 3.2 above. The
TiVoToGo feature is provided solely for personal, non-commercial use.
Unauthorized transfers or distribution of copyrighted works outside of
your home may constitute an infringement of the rights of copyright
holders. TiVo reserves the right to terminate the TiVo service accounts
of users who transfer or distribute content in violation of this
Agreement—either to an unauthorized device or otherwise.
The TiVoToGo feature includes security measures designed to prevent
infringement of copyrighted works. You agree not to take any steps to
defeat any TiVo security measures or to use any third party applications
that may bypass any TiVo security measures.
Not all programs may be transferred using the TiVoToGo feature. For
example, programs that include copy protection mechanisms may not
be transferred to a home computer using the TiVoToGo feature.
Similarly, programs that may be blocked using Parental Controls may
not be transferred to a home computer using the TiVoToGo feature.
Before such programs may be transferred using the TiVoToGo feature,
you must temporarily turn Parental Controls off. The TiVo Desktop
application does not include Parental Controls for programs stored on
your home computer. If you do not want minors to view particular
programs on a home computer, do not transfer them using the
TiVoToGo feature.
Your home computer must meet certain minimum technical
requirements and you must have adequate storage space available on
your home computer to use the TiVoToGo feature. Because your home
computer may need available space on your home computer's storage
device to run properly and accommodate routine tasks, TiVo
recommends that you carefully monitor the amount of available storage
on your home computer. The programs transmitted from your TiVo
DVR may require large amounts of space relative to other files on your
home computer, and the TiVo Desktop application does not monitor the
amount of available storage on your home computer. You agree that
TiVo is not responsible for your inability to use the TiVoToGo feature
or your home computer based on lack of available storage on your home
computer or your home computer's failure to meet the minimum
technical requirements.
