I hang out in another forum often (I know, I'm a cheater), a woodworking forum.
I've been recording all episodes of certain DIY/wood shows, and am now making DVDs of them without commercials, and nice menus, etc for my own personal "library."
I let it slip in the other forum that I'm doing this. Now I'm getting tons of requests for copies of these DVDs.
I'm pretty sure it'd be illegal to sell copies of them, but is it illegal to just give them away (they're not from "premium" channels?"
What about charging them for cost of the physical DVD ($2) and the shipping ($2)? What about for my time in making the DVD?
A slippery slope here. wattel.kicks-ass.org, just pay for my expenses , and help some fellow woodworkers out by giving them easy access to the shows that they'd otherwise have to record/organize themselves.
And, if sending them is illegal, how does this differ from "Send Show" on my Replay?
I'm waiting for someone to set-up an "on-demand" type service for replay shows, charging $X to send you a particular show that they have on their 200terabyte RTV.
