Gave us:

1) Time-shifting: "The basic concept behind the home-use VCR is to free the
public from the constraints of television scheduling, in other words, to
allow people to watch programs at their own convenience." Note that this
does *not* use the word broadcast. This is a very important omission
because there is a HUGE difference between cable and broadcast and Sony
wanted to win based on the ability to time-shift *any* content.

No. They wanted to make the distinction to show that cable
"transmissions" should be included, not "any" content. This was to
define cable as a form of "broadcast" even though it was on a closed
system. It is STILL ONLY about scheduled programming, not some
asswipe's rental or whatever your bent ****'d perceptions define it
as.
