The TV industry was heavily against VCRs when they first came out. Fortunately for us, they aren't illegal.
However, recorders that come with automatic ad stripping technology have been under legal fire recently - I don't know what the outcome of these are though.
I do recall a bit of legal struggles a few years back with the LogoAway filter (which was designed to remove watermarks from videos).
