I dloaded all of the BBC's "coupling" episodes off file sharing, and they are good qaulity, but they dont approach the quality of the DVD's I purchased!

Exactly what I do with movies I am "considering". There are some movie's "LOTR" "STAR WARS" "XMEN" that are must buys, but if it is a movie that I think might be ok but don;t want to burn $15-30 on and be dissappointed, I use the download route as a screening tool.

I went the route of burning DvD's at one time, but even with a "DVD Quality" download the quality is just not the same. So now I will download a movie, check it out, if it worthy of the collection I then go out and purchase it.

I do the same thing with music. No matter how good the quality of the MP3, it does not match the quality when burned. SO I will download music I am considering purchasing, and then buy it if I decide it is worth paying the price.

Mylife's Excuse:

You see dloading the episodes was legal (fair use)

Commish's Crime:

I'm not passing judgement on your activity, but your arguments are very weak.
