direct quote from Fox 'programs that have been recorded off the air cannot be - sold or rented or forwarded via the internet - without authorisation from their copyright owner, so dont be fooled if anyone offers to sell or rent you a copy they have made - its an illegal transaction.'

Within minutes I received an email from Fox saying that it was illegal to download, buy or rent downloaded TV programs and that they were not going to show reruns and to ask friends if they have a VHS or DVD recording that I could borrow. Obviously Big Brother is watching!! :scared:
but if you do or someone you know, you can get it that way.I've just taped over the 24 or I would send it to you
They used to repeat 24 the night before the new ones started or was that in the UK??!

I'd happily pay to watch something - without commercials - that was a good program. I believe one of the networks already does this through iTunes.
