i already address that issue in a previous thread i will not rehash it here

secondly
assuming you didn't mean violating the public broadcast restriction and simply distribute comercial laid video via the exact same method it would not work because of the free market
if you have a choice of downloading a file which wastes your hard drive space with useless comercials or a clean copy which would you download
since popularity is a virtue, it would make that download slower , and more difficult to finish.


i
never mind if the free market wouldn't embrace it. Should I be allowed to do it? All I want to do is record a show off my TV, cut out their commercials and put in some of my own, then load it up on a torrent site for people to download. Maybe people will find out it has commercials and not download it, maybe they still will, that isn't the question. Should I be allowed to do this? that is the question.
