Correction: Sony v. Universal Studios

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc.

The case primarily dealt with the concept of "time-shifting", i.e. using 
personal recording devices to record a copyrighted broadcast to play 
back later at personal convenience.  The concept of "fair use" was 
clarified as including time-shifting.

If you can find the transcript of the arguments, it is very interesting. 
  Many of the copyright concepts we still argue about today 
(space-shifting, personal distribution, personal librarying, etc.) are 
covered.  This was in 1983 with analog recordings and broadcasts.
