A California-based Internet service provider jumped into the contentious music-downloading fray late Wednesday, filing a lawsuit against the recording industry and questioning the constitutionality of the industry’s effort to track down online music sharers. Pacific Bell Internet Services, based in San Francisco, is seeking a declaration that the subpoenas served against it by the Recording Industry Association of America are overly broad in scope and should have been issued from a California district court, not the District of Columbia. The complaint also seeks a jury trial to have the constitutional issues addressed.

Snapstream
Snapstream seems to be working pretty well. I am able to log into my HA server web pages, add a recording, and it is sending the request to the remote machine which has my TV tuner installed. Working fine. I am able to watch them (commercial free, as in cheap TiVO) on the local PC, or on my Television, which is also hooked to my HA server. It will also stream the programs across my network with no lag at all.
Very cool new toy to play with. Guess I need to configure my remote now so I never have to get off the couch.
