Found in The Guardian:

If you listen to music on an iPod or watch a DVD today - or go out to supper while recording Casualty - stop to reflect on the historical oddity that all these actions follow from the day, two decades back, when American's highest legal brains decided that viewers who preferred to watch the Johnny Carson show the next morning should not be branded criminals.

Referring to the day that the Supremes declared that the VCR was not illegal...

Goodnight, all.

Close entry.

And a posthumous thanks to Mr. Rogers, for testifying in favor of the VCR technology when a lot of entertainment-industry types were against it.
