buuuuuuuuuut, look at this hypothetical sceniario:

I pay for my tv license and pay for Sky. Ming mongs like my sister who don't have a tv because they don't want to pay for a license watch stuff on channel and bbc on demand (or whatever they are called) for free on their pc.

I decide I am going out tonight and will miss Greys Anatomy and the X Factor so I download it off torrents tomorrow so i can watch it at my convenience.

Where is the problem in that? I am paying to watch stuff that is on tv but I am downloading it instead yet you have got people who don't pay who watch it online (terrestrial channels)?

I would apply the same to any tv series, current or old. Terra Nova is a new sci-fi series which started last week in the US. Hypothetically speaking, I have no problem whatsoever downloading it and watching it now, knowing that I am paying for it come on Sky some time soon and that I will buy it on dvd when it get released. The same can be said over the years for Buffy, Star Trek, Stargate, Alias, 24 and I could go and on and on.
