Many shows (especially sports) forbid the duplication of said show in a statement or the credits. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 20/01/2011 03:22:10 AM
It was never widespread enough for them to go after people but you can't legally record TV shows and pass them out to your friends. Which in a way is what torrent is doing they just bent the word friend a bit.

You can argue about if it moral or not but there is not grounds fro arguing about it being legal.


How so? If I record an episode of a television series and a friend comes over to the house and we watch it together I technically distributed it to him/her. As long as no money is changing hands I don't see how anything is anything other than legal.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
