Why can cable subscribers copy a program from HBO or Cinemax (and all the multiplex channels), but are not permitted to copy programs from HOD or MaxOD?
One of the key attributes of HBO’s On-Demand services is the convenience of watching great HBO and Cinemax programs on your own schedule – which is why you don’t need to “time shift” the programming. HOD and MaxOD provide functions such as rewind, pause, fast-forward, etc. – i.e., the very same viewing conveniences offered by viewing a personal copy, thereby eliminating the need to record your own copy. If you would like to own the entire series of HBO’s Original Programming (such as The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, etc.), you are able to purchase the DVDs in attractive box sets with special features such as out-takes and directors’ notes.
