Ah - an excellent topic of discussion. I believe it's illegal in Australia to record free-to-air broadcasts, even for personal use only (Australian Copyright Council - G079v04 - 'Fair Dealing').
Given that 99.99% of Australians ignore the law in this regard, should you feel bad in advocating a P2P client/service to obtain a copy of the program, especially as: A) The program has already aired in Australia and B) The program has already been paid for by the tax paying public. T. P.S. You could argue that P2P services are a mass distribution system that by their nature breach the 'for personal use only' premise, in that you upload and download simultaneously. A VHS recording requires additional steps, i.e. effort, to generate the same result. So is it less about the act, and more about the likely-hood of the act occurring?
