Is it legal (i.e will you get into trouble) if you share a TV show with people on the internet?


Is it legal to share TV shows you recorded with people on the internet? I have some TV shows that I video captured to my computer and I was wanting to share them with people on the internet. I was wondering if this is legal or if I will get in trouble for it. It would be the same thing as having friends come over to my place to watch the shows won't it? Or is there copyright issues involved?

There are serious copyright issues involved. While you may record TV programs for your later viewing, you may not in any way redistribute these recordings without the consent of the copyright owner.

Technically it's a copyright violation. Odds are you won't; but in this day and age, you never know
