This article seems to refer to something that is available on DVD at retail outlets.
What of TV shows that are not for sale on DVD.
Lets say "Enterprise" season 4.
Is it illegal to download it for personal viewing?
Without sending any parts of it... some torrents clients you can do that, but the download is proportional to your upload, so it would take a rather long time, but none the less doable.
Is the really any different than me Recording it, from the free in the air tv signals?
For example, local TV station can be picked up with out can cable subscription, and I could then record the show, to which ever medium.
would really be no different than me downloading, never uploading any parts...
Any opinions on this scenario?
