I have said time and again that people should be allowed to record TV shows and that I don't care if they download them.
TV is a different thing from movies. TV is broadcast for free to anyone with an antenna. You can't do something like that and still control what people do with it. A movie is a different thing. When I put a movie into the theater I can control how it is viewed, by whom it is viewed, where and when it is viewed and even how much people pay to view it.
If I then choose to not release the movie on a VHS tape that should not give someone else the rights to sell my movie on a VHS tape and it should not give someone the right to just take my movie for free.

again
but it the same exact law that makes it legal
you can't have it both ways
if the copyright holder has a right to control the medium then both should be illegal
if the copyright holder doesn't have the right to control the medium that both should be legal
that the point.
