Question : Downloading a particular TV show for personal use is ok?
Answer: We think that this is acceptable because it is only for personal use, so your not making any money of it and TV is free anyways. Channels have also introduced websites such as 4OD and BBC iplayer for this purpose already. However, this is still illegal so should not be done, although we do not see a problem with it and think that it should be made legal if it is only for personal use and not distribution and selling.
Question: Is it ok if i download TV programme, watch it then give it to my friend in exchange for money?
Answer: We believe that this is not ok because the person downloading it is distributing the TV programme and earning money from it when they do not own the copyright to do this. The money for the programme should go to the original creator.
