Called the LamaBox , the VCR-size player is "fully integrated with the Internet, including connection to the big peer-to-peer networks," according to the LamaBox Web site. This, the site says, lets users "choose from an impressive collection of audio and video. The latest movies and television shows, playable on your television at the press of a button."
The device also enables users to burn downloads to DVD.
The fact that the LamaBox is designed to access networks where copyright material is routinely shared raises legal issues. But a LamaBox representative denied any wrongdoing and said the device only makes such material accessible, much in the same way Internet providers facilitate access to potentially illegal material.
"The sole responsibility lies with the provider and user of content," said LamaBox.
