ooooo! i had to reply to this. or ask this question. :)
is it really violating copyright by downloading bittorrented tv shows
that you could record using your VCR/PRV/DVR? (assuming you're paying
for your cable or whatever service you're using...)
if i'm already paying for the content and happen to mis-program my
'VCR' and don't get the show, then why can't i grab it via bittorrent?
i'm not saying it's right or wrong, or that the MPAA won't knock on
your door. just asking if that would be a valid arguement.
