That's distribution of copyrighted material. Buying a TV show doesn't give you the right to share it.

With that said, I haven't checked the actual lawsuits so I can't say what they're suing for. I think it's a great way to get things under control and it will help serve as a warning

If you can make some money misleading a couple of thieves then why not ? The market wouldn't exist without them so it will regulate itself as things get cleaned up
except with torrents i am never giving anyone a complete working copy of the show

no one gets anything but a transient cache from me

in fact until they put those pieces in the right order no working copy exists

that the fair use of cacheing

if you want to change the law to invalidate that you can kiss the internet good bye because that how tcp/ip works too.
