Also, case it point. We once argued about the show Heroes. I stated that there are places in the world where Heroes doesn't air and is not available on DVD yet. You had no problem with those people downloading it because the owners of the show are not trying to sell it in that area. Never mind that they might be waiting for 100 episodes so they can sell it in syndication to that area or they might be packaging it in a different format later in that area. The downloads then could hurt them because people will have already gotten it for free and won't be paying. You didn't seem to care and thought that since it wasn't for sale now the download was okay.
oh and btw in the case of heroes we were talking about the establish ruling of law, not my opinion

the case law in that country was 1 download != 1 lost sale and therefore 1 download != 1 infringement.
