What's next? Should universal remotes be banned? I mean picture this:

You and a Julia Childs rerun are working together on a fab cake and right at an important juncture I flip the channel from across the street and down the cake goes. You're out some coin. Ya takin' me to court DMCA style for hackin your set and costing you money. Oh, the injustice...the inhumanity of it all. How could I?
