SKY+ to dvd problems copy protection

It appears, after searching online that there has been problems in the transfer items from SKY+ to DVD. I read this online at http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/dec/04/television-sky-programme-backups and it seems that a "GLITCH" was responsible. The address above will give a greater description than I could ever give and it appears that nobody seems to be claiming responsibility for the problem and giving answers which are not helpful at all. The old cliche "IT IS ILLEGAL TO RECORD PROGRAMMES ANYWAY." This is the crud answer and statement that were around when VHS recorders were first introduced. Most people like me, like to record and re-view their favourite programmes without limitations.
