My thoughts exactly re downloading TV.

I pay my TV licence, & I pay my Sky subscription.

So I see no moral problem with downloading TV episodes which I would be able to watch on my fee-paid TV service. And if the series is not yet broadcast in the UK, then screw the network - if I didn't have to wait months & months I wouldn't download the US broadcasts.

Definitely not the same IMO as downloading an album or movie rather than buying a CD or cinema ticket / DVD.
