A series of legal events means that companies that have no business reason to retain documents or records may be compelled to create and retain such records just so they can become available for discovery.

This has some interesting DRM implications. I worked as a contractor on a system aimed at storing all cable content at the headend - a centralized DVR if you will.

The multi-year multi-million dollar deal was scuttled by the content providers who balked at losing control of their bits. They argued that essentially the customer was the only one with the rights to time-shift content.

With this new definition of "storage", it seems that the cable companies are doing exactly what the content providers objected to.
