Here is my opinion on Internet downloads such as that. I personally think it's morally okay provided that the material doesn't have any commercials cut from it, and it was recorded off of broadcast or basic cable. Since everyone basically has basic cable I assume, it would be like lending a VHS tape to a friend. If it's coming from a premium channel, or has commercials cut out, I think it's immoral since it is hurting the business. Also, the downloads would have to be for free, and not charging the downloader anything, to be fair. This is my opinion. By the way, I don't download movies/episodes off the Internet. I'd rather have them on DVD or VHS, since their quality on the Internet is horrible I heard.
