Anyway, it is good this is down. Things like that are just blatant, shameless piracy. It makes all of us folks trying to obtain non-released material, fanedits, theatrical cut that are not commercially available look bad. We are all kind of thrown into the same bucket. I am on the fence with the whole deal. I think it is retarded that ten years ago I could tape ever episode of X-Files, cut out the commercials, and archive them on a vast quantity of VHS tapes. But now that it has become easy to digitally record them off TV in high quality, seamlessly remove the commercials, and burn them on to DVDs compounded by the fact that the studios can finally produce, market and sell entire runs of TV shows at an "affordable price", now it is really cracked down on. I think spending up to $400 for an entire run of a show is absurd and unreasonable. I would be perfectly happy with my digitally recorded and divxed episodes, I wish I could legally own them (yes, recording things off TV has for a long time been kind of a "gray area", but I think now it is generally seen as competely black).

However downloading brand new movies still in the theater, that should not be tolerated, IMHO. I am not sure I believe the statistics on how much they effect ticket sales, I think they are more of a scape goat for the "failing ticket sales" actually. I still think people should just wait and rent the thing for two bucks if they don't want to pay the ticket price.
