Azureus is not illegal. Using it to steal is.

Commercials or not will not change that you have no right to distrubute the TV show.
Downloading is ok
Uploading gets you sued, be smart leech.

That's what I've never understood. How is downloading a show that you can watch on TV any different from ripping the show onto your hard drive from the actual broadcast? Either way the data ends up on your computer, and either way you probably didn't watch the original broadcast.
