The whole issue of TV shows I find a tricky one. As far as I see it, there is no difference between me taping a show off the television and downloading a copy of it from the internet. In both instances the show has been broadcast and I have made a personal copy of it, and in both instances the company involved would not be receiving any money from me for actually "buying" a copy.
I do not own a VCR. Imagine there is an episode of a TV show I watch, that for some reason I cannot be in for. If I had a VCR I could record it, so I don`t see what the problem is in downloading it from the internet, either way the end result is the same.
