I've searched the internet a lot and it's very difficult to find out what the UK's laws on regarding this matter. It seems that DVDs and MP3's are illegal to download, but if I download a TV show, for personal use only and upload nothing... is that illegal?

If so, where exactly is the law that states this?

Also... somebody stated there may be a loophole in that if you are reviewing a tv show it's legal to download.

Please advise
