If you have purchased said episode then you are allowed to rip it to your PC for viewing, but aren't allowed to redistribute said copy.
In terms of what the original poster said, my comment stands.
It doesn't matter whether a provider has already purchased the rights to screen the show, the fact that you have downloaded it without purchasing it is illegal in this country, though rarely prosecuted - see the iiNet vs AFACT case.

Does downloading these programs ahead of their broadcast in Australia constitute piracy if you're paying for the subscription television services that eventually broadcast them?
Yes it does.

Submission + - OzLog: unlimited private data retention for Oz law (delimiter.com.au)
Australia would like to follow the EU down the "European Directive on Data Retention" path.
Australian law enforcement agencies may have the option to request a log of all a users of interest telco usage without any review or time limits.
Another option would be for local politics eg. an activist community. Data retention over a postcode (suburb).
The data collection could also be out sourced to private contractors.

Now, I've yet to see aviation and medical mission-critical software run on Linux.
I think you may want to revisit your statement. I used to work in a hospital. We had medical equipment that ran embedded Linux. I currently work for a bank. We have ATMs that run embedded Linux. Our CCTV system runs embeded Linux in the cameras. Did you know that a lot of banking mainframes run on Linux? I'd argue completely against your statement that no mission critical software runs on Linux.
