    But of course in that case you'd be a criminal, ..;

Perhaps someone on this list who lives in Australia can confirm or
deny the claim of my nephew, who lives in Sydney:  that already it is
illegal in Australia to use a TiVo or home built PVR to skip
commercials.  Rather than think of a commercial as an invitation that
you may accept or reject as you choose, a commercial is legally
considered a product such that if you skip it, you are a thief.
