I used to download TV series but I stopped about 4 months ago. I don't download copyrighted music or film either. Downloaded copyrighted material is illegal no matter what excuses you make. I don't agree with the implementation of copyright laws. I think it lasts too long about 50 - 80 years and I think the price of DVDs and CDs are over the top. The technology is there to change the way music and film is distributed and sold. But the business wouldn't change because there's too much money to be made from selling a circular piece of plastic and metal.
