I got a side question in my head. Does sharing the digital recordings of 
TV with my friends (i.e. for non commercial) illegal? How about sharing 
the recordings on the VCR tape? does it make a different?
I guess for paid TV like cable, HBO, these acts are potentially illegal, 
how about those programs that are avaiable over the air?
