Just to clarify: The post in this particular case is more to do with "eyeballs watching screens" than legality/piracy. Normally, US series are shown before anywhere else gets them. However this isn't an issue for American networks, as they use their own domestic ratings to decide whether a show is successful. The problem is that because we got it first, this time it's Americans who are downloading - and the producers are worried this will affect the American ratings. With analogue VCRs the quality of the each copy degrades - this isn't the case with digital copies. Perversely, it's easier to share a perfect digital copy with (potentially) millions using Kazaa than it is to copy an inferior VHS tape & share it with your mates.
