Good IRC channels/other places for TV Eps?

[KnickNut3]

Hey.

Since I'm going to college in the forseeable future, and probably won't have a TV, I need some access to TV eps. I used to have a mediocre IRC channel for TV Eps, but that one went defunct. Kazaa doesn't have to much stuff, and the speeds are often slow. Simpsons are usually easy enough to find, but does anyone know of any channels/places other than IRC for good eps of TV shows, like Will & Grace, CSI, Whose Line?, Malcolm, Gilmore Girls, Boston Public, Drew Carey, etc.? Thanks for the suggestions.

P.S. TV Eps are legal, right? Since they're publically broadcasted and won't be retransmitted, I figure it's just like taping it yourself. (Then again, aren't they trying to make taping illegal, too? lol )

Yeah, #anivcd on EFnet has Simpsons and Futurama eps I believe. Haven't really looked lately. www.spepisodes.com used to have south park eps. I havent really been looking for episodes but those are the places I remember. Anyone know where to get king of the hill eps?

Taping TV programs is illegal anyways, isn't it?

Anyway good luck, but as this is at least a grey area it'll probably get locked up.

taping with a vcr is now illegal??? hmm.. news to me. i thought it was the same as taping music, at least with cassettes.. and was legal under some fair use law..

It should be legal. We "pay" for TV by watching the commercials.

You guys are right - it's currently wholly legal to tape and even distribute TV shows as analog or digital recordings as they see fit.

Americans' current rights relating to copying music, taping TV shows, and transferring files through the Internet.
