Honest question: Is that illegal?
It could be argued that it is a mechanism of time-shifting, but from my past reading, the mechanism of distribution determines legality so downloading content that even you pay for (e.g. HBO Shows) would be illegal because it is a different distribution mechanism.
Any thoughts? I'd love to download a show that I forgot to Tivo, but I'm under the impression that it is against current law.
