you can't legally record and distribute TV shows random thoughts Send a noteboard - 19/01/2011 05:21:06 PM
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.
