NBC may sue TiVo for PSP and iPod support

I spotted this on both Engadget and PSP Fanboy, but it looks like NBC is "pulling an Apple" by flexing their legal muscles in the hopes of scaring TiVo out of their recent plans to make it easy for people to grab TiVo'ed shows off of their boxes and put them on their iPods and PSPs. NBC seems to want a world where no device works easily with any other device and where everyone must buy multiple copies of their shows for multiple devices, despite the fact that the shows are freely broadcast over the airwaves and are paid for by the commercials that air during them and which the TiVo just so happens to record along with the shows.

In other news, NBC sucks.
