44		We think so. Some of the grabbers used by Shepherd read web sites that say they don't want their data used in PVRs, but that [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/index.html#Legal doesn't mean it's illegal]. It also hasn't been established that TV guide data is protected by copyright at all. Even if it is, Shepherd doesn't copy or distribute data, but rather allows individuals at home to read it via their PVRs. It seems unlikely that it could be legal to read an online TV guide via your computer if you're holding a mouse but not a remote control.

Shepherd doesn't copy or distribute data, but rather allows individuals at home to read it via their PVRs. It operates in the same manner as a browser, sending HTTP requests and formatting the resultant HTML for display in a manner appropriate to the user.
