When you record shows on your VCR you are also recording the commercials. That is how they make their money.
When you go to their websites to watch the show, you are seeing various ads along the way. Plus the quality is degraded so that you'll want to watch the reruns on TV or buy the DVDs when they come out.
Torrents have the commercials edited out so they aren't making anything there, and they are decent video quality so nobody is buying the DVDs. So how exactly are the companies making anything off torrents? You better have a good answer, or you are a hypocrite.

Ah I see, you're basing this on where money is, not on actual laws or anything that pertains to me.
Well, rest assured that the Canadian government has made certain that the networks and recording industries make their money the moment I purchase the blank dvd.
Oh, and no, it is not illegal.
