How about this, I get AMC and download the Walking Dead but my cable provider doesn't have AMC HD. Is it bad if I download the Walking Dead in HD?

Why do people who have absolutely no knowledge of the law or the real world post displaying their ignorance?

If you rip a file, you break the law.

They often release the TV film before the DVD. It's entirely up to the content creator or owner how he monetizes his product. Not for you to find excuses to steal it, so it fits your warped sense of right and wrong. If either of you two would like to give me access to your sites so I can copy them, I will know you believe the bullshit you spout.
