Illegal Downloading censorship and regulation

Illegal Downloads
Q: Downloading a particular T.V show for personal use is okay.
A: It is not okay in the eyes of the law because of the digital millennium copyright act. However it is so common and almost socially acceptable that it doesn't seem a big problem. Many people use streaming websites which does not involve the actual download, people think that it is okay to do this because they believe that it is the person who originally uploaded the video that gets into trouble.
Q: It is okay if i download a T.V program, watch it, then give to my friend in exchange for money.

POSTOMODERNISM
To what extent would you say that online film reviews are postmodernist
Inception: Time Out Magazine.
1) the review is intertextual because the review only refers to to one other text (the film) and doesn't develop a new form of media.
2) Baudrillard theory states that a media text reflects reality in its content. Although the film review is positive, it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone would watch it as people know that films and other arts can only be experienced and judged by the individual and are a matter of a opinion.
3) The film Inception receives a positive review from the author Dave Calhoun of timeout.com. He comments about the number of special effects and stunts used by Christopher Nolan. When thinking about watching a film, I do not consider reading film reviews. If I had previously read either a positive or negative review then it would not have any bearing on whether I went to watch the film or not.
4) whether a review is reliable is in itself, a matter of opinion. The source of the review has a large influence on how we process it. If we read a review in 'The Sun' most people will take it on a different level to that of a review in 'The Guardian'. This, therefore, effects whether or not we will go and see the movie depending on our association of the review and its perceived reliability.
