Re: Greed said by Sammer:Maybe for the same reason you can't walk into a store and walk out without paying for a DVD copy of some show you could have recorded yourself.  Not a valid comparison. With a DVD in a store, you have a tangible physical item, with an actual value. A program broadcast for free to the public should be available for downloading for free, or at best, a very very minimal charge to cover the costs of providing the download. For example a 1 Hour TV show should be 10 cents.
