The list includes a number of torrent and warez sites that are well known, as well as file-hosting sites and newsgroups clients.

I don't even use those anymore, not even to find rare stuff since I just request them.
I enjoy how slow they are.

MPAA put's up their hand waiting for the teacher's attention to ask to go the to bathroom. I don't see any difference to this situation.
Yes we know they there too thanks for telling the rest of the world and now their traffic increases and MPAA sit's on their hands expecting a pat on the head.
Has anyone noticed that the pirates are winning and kicking field goals.

My question is....
Why is it copyright infringement if I download a TV show from one of these sites? It's shown for FREE on TV, and downloading it is no different than recording it on my DVR. That's all I've ever Downloaded in the past, are TV shows i want to see, but missed.
I don't see how they could go after someone, or build a case for downloading something that is free to begin with. Suddenly since it's not on their TV station it has monetary value?

They forgot about the Chinese government; who use nothing but pirated software. Oh yeah...the MPAA does not care about piracy so long as movies are not involved.

"notorious markets"
Interesting but laughably biased description for a place where people share things and do not charge a penny.
Idiots.

Speaking of hypocrites.......
Seeing as the MPAA & the RIAA love to go after those 'facilitating' copyright infringement I wonder when they'll start sueing the likes of Sony (what with all the blank media and CD/DVD/Blu-ray burners they make.....for 'data back-up', yeah right)?
A$$holes.

Meh the only one I'd go hard after is usenet, the rest show ties to illicit profit and take im down.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

I think I responded to this earlier... Advertisers usually pay a flat fee to the stations depending on how much air time they want and how many times of day they want the commercial shown (also, prime time slots garner more cash than early morning or even some early afternoon hours). It's a well known fact that even Superbowl commercials are in excess of a couple hundred thousand dollars JUST for airtime; in fact it's now a huge part of the Super Bowl event to comment on the commercials. I would think, once again, that commercial owners wouldn't care WHERE their shows are being watched, but then again I think the concern is for shows that have their commercials ripped out (which is obviously what the "groups" who are releasing these are doing). Personally, I don't want to see ANY commercials but I understand their necessity...I'd watch TV online and do a commercial before, maybe ONE during and one after the show if it would help... But those half hour shows that are limited to like 21 minutes with 9 freakin' minutes of commercials were ridiculous... No wonder Tivo like devices made the rounds... Even the new DVR's can rip commercials out of recorded programs...
