Sorry - should have been clearer. Some of the new series, e.g. Battlestar Galactica are shown over here a few months after they've premiered in the states. I can understand why the tv companies wouldn't want you to be able to download it (even if you are paying) before they get the chance to air it as it may harm advertising revenues etc. However older shows which have already aired probably won't have the same commercial restrictions (I wouldn't have thought).ZorPrime said:Actually that's not true. Just because content is old doesn't mean it isn't subject to licensing laws, national or international. A prime example actually is the Munsters, which is copyrighted by Universal Studios.
