And no producer sells below their cost at your perceived and utterly arbitrary value. You didn't watch it for free. You missed it. Either wait for a rerun or pay the price to watch it when you want.
It's already been broadcast. All costs associated with producing that bit of film have been paid for. The price they are setting is completely arbitrary.

Since timeshifting has been declared legal by the courts and there's nothing stopping me from watching this at a friend's house, I see no reason why I shouldn't download something (from an internet friend) that's already been broadcast and watch it.

Since you have to pay to watch a movie, that's a different story. Up until someone broadcasts it, then I consider it fair use to download.
