As long as you watch the commercials during the episode, then I say no Walleye :p

Star Trek should be illegal. It's stunting the growth of humanity through the cultivation of dorks.

That's what I was saying about Family Guy.

I still can not fathom why the networks don't have shows with commercials available to stream or download

As long as you don't try to resell the eps to your friends I say don't worry about it. Or d/l it, watch it, then use a memory shredder to remove it from your HD if your that paranoid.

Of course it is. While I support the anti-riaa/mpaa movements and ending some of their gouging and the attempt to get more options for consumers, I also regret seeing questions like this because it makes me really feel like people now think its their right to this stuff and they're not committing a crime by doing so.

What makes it OK to record it off of TV but not off of my capture card?

No, as long as you don't make money off it and give proper credit.

Yes, if it is off a DVD.
