There are, of course, grey areas, and exceptions, mainly concerning intent - but all of your examples are illegal.
Oh you hate armchair lawyers?

Then please share with us where you received your law degree from, along with when you passed the bar exam and your bar number and state please.

If recording a show from the TV is illegal then why hasn't Tivo been sued out of business?

If recording a song from the radio is illegal then why is Sony allowed to make a product that contains a radio and cassette and in some cases cd recorder, along with printed instructions for how to record a song off the radio?
