I guess my point is that if you are going to be carrying on illegal  
activities, don't post them in a public forum without expecting to  
get a negative reaction. It would be a shame for some lawmaker to  
come along and claim the MythTV community condones illegal copies of  
videos because of your message - or maybe they'll just say WJCB-TV  
employees condone illegal copies of copyrighted material. In fact,  
you've even given out your phone number to make it easier. In any  
event, when you post stuff like that in a public forum it could come  
back to bite you.
