when i download heroes from the torrent sites i am timeshifing the show from monday to tuesday
That's a load of crap and you know it. Recording a TV on your DVR is TOTALLY different than sharing it on a torrent site. Your "right" to time shift doesn't give you a right to share that content. By the way ther are 2 great site to watch Heroes online LEGALLY they are called Hulu.com and NBC.com. If you want a copy to keep and you don't have a DVR or whatever then you pay purchase a comercial free digital copy from many places including amazon, itunes, XBL and PSN for $2, $3 for HD. Or you can go to wally world and buy the DVD of the whole season.

ZERO excuse to go to a torrent site.
