[WEB4LIB] capturing streams

[Chris Gray]

Streambox had products that could do this kind of thing with RealNetworks
streaming format.  RealNetworks brought a lawsuit against them under the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act.  It was eventually
settled: http://news.com.com/2100-1023-245482.html?legacy=cnet

Streambox agreed to stop distributing Streambox Ripper and to modify
Streambox VCR.  The questionable versions of these products are still
available on the net if you look around.
