I have many seasons of shows on my TiVo but I want them on my computer so I figured that I will just download all them using torrents. Is this still wrong even though I have already obtained the shows legally from recording them using TiVo? I will not download any shows that I don't have recorded already.

Bad OP. That is not okay.

They're recorded right?

Then no, it isn't okay.

That's fine to do, as long as you have no plans to go to heaven.

Yes, obviously.
It doesn't matter whether you already own it on one medium.

God doesn't approve of anyone other than him using Torrent sites. That's where he gets all his P0rn from.

I was under the impression that if you own a physical copy of something, then you can legally download a copy of it as well, providing you can prove that you legally own the original.

But i suppose that's why they're selling Blu-Rays these days with digital copies included. Must be illegal.

I like video games, Jesus, music, and love my girlfriend. :) PM me, we'll talk.

Yeah... I hate to tell you, OP, but it's not 'kay.

EDIT: Wait, did you pay for your original copies?

Not unless you are given a digital copy with the physical copy.

I didn't pay for the original copies but I got them from recording them from TiVo which is completely legal. I mean I could just as easily burn them to discs and copy them over individually but using torrents is much simpler so I don't see what the problem is .
