From the Engadget Interview: Mike Ramsay, CEO of TiVo
Q: How are you negotiating your relationship with Hollywood after they essentially put your main competitor out of business?
A: Our role is to create a great experience for people who want to watch television. ReplayTV crossed a line, and they kind of asked for it, and they were put out of business. There is a business objective we have as a company to have a certain level of support from the industry because that’s good for our business. If you get stupid and you go out of business, that isn’t doing the consumer any good.
