Hey Everyone! I got Broadband!
Does anyone know what sort of legal problems I might encounter in downloading TV shows?
And how I might go about doing so. (Most legal way...) There are sites where you can pay to download episodes, but I can't find any with Stargate Atlantis. Are these sites any more legal than, say, sharing between people? What is it about sharing that's illegal, if no profit is involved?

Um, is a public forum really the best place to be asking these things? I'd have gone with PMing a few close friends. And can I emphasize PUBLIC FORUM a few more times?
Anyway, the only "legal" site I know of is Itunes (or whatever Apple's calling it these days).

That's why I'm asking about the legal problems. What better place to get much input. There's differing degrees of illegal, ie downloading someone's TV based music video for personal enjoyment, compared to downloading a series and selling it.
And this would be why I'm asking for a legal site to download shows. Damn I hate the whole 'joking doesn't work through text' thing. Okay I'll go edit that bit. I don't see why a discussion about the law and whether it's reasonable should be a bad thing.

I don't know WHO I would ask about downloading things anyway.

I was just a little concerned that your first post could basically be interpreted as "where can I go to steal stuff?"
As for who to ask, the answer would be "not me." I'm basically just causing trouble, here. I don't have broadband, and it's all my dialup can handle to temporarily watch a YouTube movie.

Yeah I know it kinda came off that way but it was meant to be a joke. What I mean is, where can I go that it's NOT stealing?
Legal downloading places are almost impossible to find, and the iTunes website has to be one of the worst to navigate that I have ever seen. I was also interested in how far the laws regarding downloads extend, and peoples opinions on those laws.
