It has nothing to do with whether the subject matter is in the public domain or not. If the privately-owned content is made available to the public, it is not time shifting.

Time Shifting Definition on Wikipedia

Privately-owned content that has been placed in a publicly accessible tube site or P2P is not time-shifting, it is piracy.
You just stated what I did... Read what I wrote again.

And it does have to do with material already released to the pubic, ie: free air tv is public released - which is what the wiki says.

What the wiki doesn't say is anything about privately owned content, because that wouldn't be piracy, it would be stealing.
